TL;DR: This paper presents the theoretical foundations of an automatic generation of structural overview maps of large collections of unstructured data to aid in the navigation of collections such as the Web and data retrieved from search engines, as well as the algorithms used for its implementation.
Abstract: The general problem we address in this paper is the automatic generation of structural overview maps of large collections of unstructured data to aid in the navigation of collections such as the Web and data retrieved from search engines. We present the theoretical foundations of such a generator, CyberMap, as well as the algorithms used for its implementation. We will detail a series of actual prototype implementations of CyberMap in HyperCard on the Macintosh, in C*on the massively parallel Connection Machine CM-2, as well as in C and Java for the World Wide Web.

TL;DR: A manageable framework for the production of multimedia technical conference proceedings is proposed, one that allows parallel development of the submitted papers in hypertext format and of the time-based media (talks) in multimedia format.
Abstract: This paper highlights the problems associated with placing technical multimedia materials on-line on the World Wide Web. It discusses obstacles in (a) automating the collection and processing of the multimedia components, and (b) limitations in the interface design imposed by restrictions associated with continuous media and especially audio. Using as paradigm the publishing of multimedia technical conference proceedings (“DAGS‘95 Conference on Electronic Publishing and the Information Superhighway”), the paper proposes a manageable framework for the production of such proceedings, one that allows parallel development of the submitted papers in hypertext format and of the time-based media (talks) in multimedia format.

TL;DR: It is suggested that modern electronic proceedings should provide a high degree of interactivity and should include an extensive collection of features and diverse multimedia components appropriate for electronic proceedings.
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the design and development of a particular type of electronic publication that has gained recent popularity: electronic conference proceedings. We suggest that modern electronic proceedings should provide a high degree of interactivity. To support such interactivity, proceedings should include an extensive collection of features and diverse multimedia components. Features appropriate for electronic proceedings include annotation, presentation, and retrieval mechanisms. Conference papers and multimedia reproductions of conference presentations with features that allow readers to manipulate these reproductions particularly enhance the interactivity of electronic proceedings. Experience from interactive proceedings the authors have designed is also discussed. Special attention is given to the multiple roles video elements can and should play in interactive proceedings.
