This technology may prove to be a catalyst for the NII and form the backbone of wide area electronic commerce. It promises universal access to vast amounts of information for improving the quality of life. The forum will feature research papers, panels, exhibits, and a significant industrial track highlighting prototypes and applications of digital libraries in science and industry. In addition, this year's forum will focus on issues related to global networked libraries for Electronic Commerce, Environmental Monitoring, Law, and Medicine. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Searching & browsing - Authoring and scripting systems - Collaborative research - Standards - Environments for creating DL objects - Intelligent agents - User interface - Telecommunications and networking - Interoperability - Information representation - Billing mechanisms, accounting and payment systems - Resource discovery - Scalability - Technical issues in intellectual property - Novel indexing techniques for multimedia objects ************************* *INFORMATION TO AUTHORS * ************************* Authors are invited to submit (6 copies) manuscripts (not to exceed 25 double-spaced pages) or panel proposals (2-3 pages) by October 27, 1995 to: Prof. Nabil Adam, Rutgers University, 180 University Ave., Newark, NJ 07102 adam@adam.rutgers.edu, (201)648-5239, Fax (201)648-5003 Electronic submission is encouraged. Send email to dlib@adam.rutgers.edu for details about electronic submission. Notification of acceptance will be sent by January 15, 1996. A refereed proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press*. *Pending Approval An up-to-date copy of this call for papers is available at: http://cesdis/admin/adl96/adlcall.html
