3rd Workshop on Digital Media and its Application in Museum & Heritage (DMAMH 2008)
Introduction
Workshop on Digital Media and its Application in Museum & Heritage
(DMAMH 2008) is an international forum for researchers and
practitioners to exchange valuable information regarding advancements
in the state of the art and practice of digital media, museum, and
multimedia community, as well as to identify the emerging research
topics and define the future of digital media, museum, and multimedia
community. Following the two successful previous events of DMAMH
(Kaifeng 2006, Chongqing 2007), DMAMH 2008 will be organized as a
workshop of Cyberworlds 2008 [http://www.china-vr.com/cw08/]. The
technical program of DMAMH 2008 will consist of paper presentations,
invited talks, and panel discussions.

Hangzhou, China(September 22-24, 2008)


The conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press. Manuscript_s should be written in English conforming to

Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either
intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As information
worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms of
information modeling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is
far above the level of integrating spatial database models and
temporal database models. This conference will deal with large
distributed information worlds on Internet and methods/tools used for
creating such worlds.
