MULTIMEDIA AND DESIGN CONFERENCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
University of Sydney
26-28 September 1994
Multimedia computer systems involve the dissemination and manipulation
of information by integrating a range of media -- text, moving and
still images, video, computer models, and sound -- in ways that are
highly interactive and responsive.
The terminology of "multimedia" is a recognition of the increasing role
of the computer as medium. Like the components of the mass media of
radio, television and newspapers, computers now constitute links within
global communications networks. Multimedia is also a recognition of the
increasingly amorphous nature of computers and information technology.
Design is a vital component within this media matrix.
The conference addresses the expanding role of computers within the
media matrix and raises questions of importance to designers: how can
designers make use of multimedia technology; how does multimedia
integrate with CAD; what are the tools and techniques of multimedia;
how are designers designing for this technology; how is the technology
changing design practice; how is the technology being shaped by and
responding to design practice; and how is multimedia affecting design
and distance education?
This conference explores the application of multimedia to
architectural, engineering, product and graphic design. Two kinds of
submissions are invited: (i) papers exploring all aspects of multimedia
technology applied to design; and (ii) presentations showing the
technology and its use in professional practice. The conference is for
researchers, educators, managers and practitioners in the fields of
design, media and information technology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Multimedia and collaborative work
Collaborative design, computer supported collaborative work,
video-conferencing, networking
* Multimedia development issues
Human-computer interfaces, promotions/presentations, copyright,
contract documentation, education, new paradigms of computing
* Multimedia design support
Tools and techniques, computer-aided design, integration,
geographic information systems, database management systems
* Impact of multimedia on design practice
Design theories, practice issues, use of metaphors,
communication

MULTIMEDIA AND THE SYDNEY OLYMPICS 2000 BID
Bernie Ward is a Project Engineer with the NSW Public Works
Department's Olympic 2000 Project. Prior to being placed on the
Project, over 2 years ago, he was the Business Manager for the
Department's CADD system, a sophisticated network of over 50
workstations. Whilst in the CADD area he was instrumental in developing
the production process of computer generated animation `fly arounds' of
public buildings.
With this high end computer graphics knowledge, Bernie undertook a
national campaign to seek out what computer oriented presentation
techniques were available for Sydney's Bid for the Year 2000 Olympic
Games. He wrote the briefs and managed the sourcing of the three
sophisticated multimedia productions. Bernie travelled with the Bid
lobby team to Acapulco, Argentina and Atlanta, and was part of the
winning team in Monte Carlo in September 1993.
