New IAF website
The website for the action line 'Information Access, Filtering (IAF), analysis and handling' of the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme, has been updated to account for new developments since the Work Programme 2000 was introduced. The new site can be accessed at URL: http://www.diffuse.org/iaf(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie) The overall objective of IAF is to develop advanced and generic tools and techniques for the management of multimedia content to empower the user. The focus set out in the Work Programme 2000 concerns the rich, descriptive models of digital information content covering all media types especially for emerging wireless and digital systems. New cognitive relations between systems and users via individualised metaphors and visualisation techniques, as well as related information and categorisation in two action lines (content-processing for domestic and mobile multimedia platforms, and information visualisation) will also be covered. The website hosts a presentation on the action line, a selection of ongoing EU-funded projects, information on trade fairs and conferences and a downloadable pre-proposal consultation seminar, as well as direct weblinks to the Work Programme 2000 and the IST web hosted on CORDIS.
