Images have been the main propellant for the Internet's popularization. Expectations for performance and quality of images are driving new technologies as the space of web-connected business and commercial imaging solutions grows and as the cost of Web access and high quality reproduction hardcopy devices drops. New applications are appearing to take advantage of these opportunities, and exposing new system requirements.

This conference is intended as a forum for discussing these technologies, applications, and challenges facing them. The participants will present the most recent developments in the appropriate representation, communication, and rendering of images using the Internet. Focus of the conference is on novel means of still image capture, coding, computation and representation specific to the Internet, efficient transport of images over networks, display and rendering of image received over networks, and the requirements of applications which derive value from the use of these technologies. Unmet needs of desired applications are also relevant. Algorithms, protocols, software, hardware, communications systems, and applications are appropriate topics.

Papers are solicited in the following areas, and special attention is given to new applications and requirements created by opportunities on the Internet:

• image processing for Internet, reuse of softcopy and hardcopy images -- data compression and representation, coding for multiresolution or resolution-independent images
• imaging issues in content-based indexing, search and retrieval
• virtual and augmented reality, VRML, image stitching
• systems issues -- color space architectures, computation for images on the Internet, automatic printing, and displays for Internet appliances
• network image transport -- protocols, XML applications, Web crawling, caching, capability exchange, negotiation, and security
• network computing -- distributed computing, performance analysis, fault tolerance & failure recovery, media synchronization, transaction managers, directory & agent services
• social and legal issues and technical solutions for the Internet including copyright, content rating, watermarking, authentication, non-repudiation, and notification
• interactive image creation for the Internet -- artistic impression, Web design and visual sign, semiotics, advanced man-machine interfacing, and visual languages
• publishing on the Internet -- graphic arts requirements, commerce systems, agents, image syndication, leasing, resolution and quality requirements, palettization, file formats, capture systems
• classifying images -- cataloging, categorization, thesauri, iconography, ontologies, metadata, XML solutions
• cultural heritage applications -- image permanence issues, scanning strategies, cataloging, presentation and publication strategies, CD-ROM vs. Internet

In deciding where to submit their papers, potential authors are advised to also consider such closely related EI 2000 conferences like Storage and Retrieval for Image and Video Databases, Security and Watermarking of Multimedia Contents, and Color Imaging: Device-Independent Color, Color Hardcopy, and Graphic Arts.
