ENGLISH AND
PORTUGUESE-SPANISH TRACK
WebMedia 2005 will have two complementary tracks:
English, and Portuguese or Spanish.
Papers submitted to either track should properly
place the work within the field, cite related work, and
clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and
its contribution to the field. A paper that is under
review for or has already been published or accepted for
publication in a journal or another conference is
unacceptable. In all cases, papers will be peer-reviewed
by at least 3 reviewers from an International Program
Committee.
Accepted papers for the English Track will appear
in the conference proceedings which will be published by
IEEE Press.
Accepted papers for the Portuguese-Spanish track
will be published in the conference proceedings
sponsored by SBC and made available at the SBC Web site
(http://www.sbc.org.br) after the conference. The same
proceedings will hold the papers for the PhD and MSc
Consortium and Demos.
Webmedia 2005 seeks original papers describing
research in all areas related to the Web. Topics in both
fields, Web and Multimedia, include but are not limited
to:

Full
papers should properly place the work within the field,
cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative
aspects of the work and its contribution to the
field.
SHORT PAPERS (up to 3
pages)
Short papers, presented in the regular
paper sessions, provide a unique forum for late-breaking
research.
POSTERS and DEMOS (up
to 2 pages)
The Poster sessions provide an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present
their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their
peers in an informal setting.
Demos are an
important venue where both academic and industrial
participants can present their latest products or
prototypes.
Posters and Demos, which will be
also peer-reviewed by the Conference Committee, give
conference attendees a way to learn about innovative
works in progress in a timely and informal manner. Poster Format
Short Courses (up to 2
pages)
Short courses, presented
in Portuguese, should target undergraduate AND/OR
GRADUATE students and cover topics of interest related
to the Web or to Multimedia in general. Authors of
selected courses are expected to produce a 40-page text
that will be published in a volume
dedicated to short
courses.
Proposals of 8-hour courses should
include:(i) an abstract describing the course, including
a paragraph detailing why the course would be of
interest to undergraduate/GRADUATE students, (ii) a
description of the target audience, including
prerequisite knowledge, (iii) a high-level table of
contents with text explaining what will be covered in
each topic, (iv) authors` biographies, (vi) indication
of which author will present the course, (v) A/V
equipment requirements. One presenter for each course
will have the registration fee waived and will receive
accommodation and transport.
UNDERGRADUATE
RESEARCH WORKSHOP (up to
3pages)
Students may submit their
ongoing work to be evaluated for presentation on the
Undergraduate Research. We expect this to be an
opportunity for students to have important feedback with
respect to their proposals and partial
results.

Webmedia
will also host the Brazilian Workshop on TV-DIGITAL,
where researches will have a unique opportunity to

this workshop will also be peer reviewed and published
in
the proceedings by SBC.
