******** IEEE ICMCS'99: INVITATION TO ATTEND ********
*****************************************************
Dear colleague,
this is to invite you to attend the 1999 edition of the
IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems
(ICMCS'99), to be held in Florence, Italy, on 7-11 June 1999.
We believe it very important for the success of the Conference that
a distinguished researcher in Multimedia like you be present at ICMCS'99:
this is in fact one of the most important forums where to discuss
experiences, trends and opportunities for Multimedia.
You can find detailed information about Conference program
and registration at the page
http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~icmcs99/.
This year, ICMCS presents a scientific program of great interest
and quality, including:
* Six special sessions (for invitation only) focussing on key
Multimedia subjects - including presentations and discussions
on the current state-of-the-art and future trends - with talks
given by respectful scientists in the fields;
* 41 oral sessions (with 145 contributions) and six poster sessions
(with 170 contributions) for a total of 315 contributions from
some of the most distinguished labs in the world;
* 19 tutorials - given by renowned researchers - addressing the
hottest topics of Multimedia technology;
* Over 30 live exhibitions and demos of working Multimedia research
prototypes and commercial products;
* A special day devoted to European Community projects in the area
of Multimedia computing and systems;
* A plenary lecture on "Digital Technologies and the Movies", given
by Dr. C. Rouet, Lucas Digital, CA.
The social program will offer a welcome dinner and a gala dinner in
two of the most beautiful sites of wonderful Florence.
I remind you that the deadline for advance registration

Looking forward to seeing you in Florence,
cari saluti,
