This book contains a set of edited papers addressing computational intelligent multimedia for the integration of NLP and VP. The papers include site descriptions from Apple Computer, California, USA and the DFKI, Saarbr"ucken, Germany, and present historical overviews and philosophical issues, on systems which have been built and which enable communications through text, speech, sound, touch, video, graphics and icons, and on the automatic presentation of information whether it be instruction manuals, statistical data or visualization of language. Mark Maybury's original book, Intelligent Multimedia Interfaces, is also reviewed here. The USA and the EU are well-reflected showing up the fact that integration is a truly international issue. There is no doubt that all of this will be necessary for the SuperInformationHighways of the future. ______________________________________________________________________________ VOL 9 (2/3) 1995: INTEGRATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE AND VISION PROCESSING: intelligent multimedia ABOUT THE AUTHORS: [all authors' biographies given here] EDITORIAL: Paul Mc Kevitt, Aalborg University, DENMARK and Sheffield University, ENGLAND SITE DESCRIPTIONS: Research in multimedia Systems at DFKI Elisabeth Andre and Thomas Rist DFKI, Saarbrucken, GERMANY Apple Computer's Authoring tools and titles r&d programme Jim Spohrer APPLE computer, CA, USA Research into Iconic Communication at the University of Brighton Colin Beardon University of Brighton, ENGLAND Temporal codes within a typology of cooperation between modalities Jean-Claude Martin and Dominique Beroule LIMSI-CNRS, FRANCE PAPERS: Research in Multimedia and Multimodal parsing and generation Mark Maybury The MITRE Corporation, MA, USA A third modality of natural language?

He is a Visiting Professor of Intelligent Multimedia Computing at Aalborg University in Denmark, EU and a British EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Advanced Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England, EU. The Fellowship, commenced in 1994, and releases him from his tenured Lecturership (Associate Professorship) for 5 years to conduct full-time research on the integration of natural language, speech and vision processing. He is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Sheffield. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, England in 1991. His Master's Degree in Computer Science was obtained from New Mexico State University, New Mexico, USA in 1988 and his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, EU in 1985. His primary research interests are in Natural Language Processing including the processing of pragmatics, beliefs and intentions in dialogue. He is also interested in Philosophy, Multimedia and the general area of Artificial Intelligence. ====================================================================== ******************************************************************************* AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REV ******************************************************************************* Artificial Intelligence Review Journal (Kluwer, The Netherlands) Special VOLUME on INTEGRATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE AND VISION PROCESSING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Nicola Berridge (Humanities and Social Sciences Division) Bill George (Desk Editor, Editorial Department) Polly Margules (Kluwer Inhouse Editor, Humanities and Social Sciences) Evangelos Simoudis (USA Editor, AI Review) Melanie Willow (Journals Editorial Office) Masoud Yazdani (Founding Editor, AI Review) ******************************************************************************* LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION L ******************************************************************************* ===============================================================================
