                          IEEE Multimedia
                    Special Issue on Media Spaces

                  Submissions due: August 31, 1998

Media spaces are large, shared, interactive, media-rich environments 
that use a combination of 2-D/3-D graphics, video, sound, speech, 
images and networking to create compelling interfaces for a 
variety of applications including learning, entertainment, 
social interaction and business. 

Original, unpublished research and practice & experience papers are 
sought that address issues in the design, implementation, and 
evaluation of media spaces. Topics include, but are not limited to:

* Networked media (Graphics, Audio, Video and Images) 
* Software architectures for media spaces
* Enhancing presence in media spaces with multimedia and multi-sensory 
  technologies
* Knowledge-based media space modelling
* Manual and automated media space design facilities
* Navigation, interaction, and collaboration in large media spaces
* Novel applications in visualising, exploring and manipulating media spaces
* Evaluation of the effectiveness of media spaces, and their impact on 
  users, applications, and organisations
