Interactive Multimedia Association and U.S. Copyright Office ELECTRONIC COMMERCE FOR CONTENT II Forum on Technology-Based Intellectual Property Management Mumford Room Library of Congress Washington, DC April 28-29, 1997 Call for Papers and Participation The Interactive Multimedia Association and the U.S. Copyright Office announce the second inter-sector/inter-industry forum on issues in technology-based intellectual property management. The forum builds on the success of the 1996 forum in bringing together different creator, industry, and user perspectives on requirements, standards, and implementation. (The proceedings of the 1996 forum are available from the IMA; see http://www.ima.org/store/ipp-2.html) Progress is being made in many areas, including digital object identifiers, rights management languages, software envelopes, billing systems, and copy protection for DVD systems. As before, the intent of the forum is not to provide a showcase for products but to promote understanding of critical technical issues and related market development problems across industries and along value chains. However, in the interests of increasing the benefits of the forum as a venue for exchange of information and ideas, the IMA is developing a Web-based directory of companies, products, and research projects. Priority will given to new material and reports on significant work in progress. Papers should be received by March 15, 1997, to ensure consideration for the presentation at the forum. Letters of intent to submit are encouraged. There will be an opportunity to revise papers for the proceedings after the forum, and materials not presented at the forum will also be considered for publication. Please send letters of intent, papers, and related documents, as well as requests for future mailings, to: IMA/CO Forum Interactive Multimedia Association 48 Maryland Ave., Suite 202 Annapolis, MD 21401-8011 410-626-1380 Fax: 410-263-0590 forum@ima.org To be listed in the directory of companies and products or to receive updated information on the forum, please contact karms@ima.org.
