<P>On October 24 and 25, the W3C workshop "<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/RTMW96.html">Real-time
|
|
Multimedia and the Web</A>" took place at the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</A>
|
|
site at <A HREF="http://www.inria.fr/Unites/SOPHIA-eng.html">INRIA Sophia-Antipolis</A>.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>About 70 participants have registered, among them the chair of the IETF
|
|
working group on conference control (Mark Handley), a chief architect of
|
|
Apple Quicktime (Peter Hoddie), a co-author of RTSP (Rob Lanphier), one
|
|
of the editors of the RTP standard (Henning Schulzrinne), the former chair
|
|
of the MPEG Systems group (Jan van der Meer) and the deputy director of
|
|
W3C (Vincent Quint). 25% of the participants came from the US and 53% come
|
|
from industry, 47% from research organizations.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The first day of this two-day event dealt with multimedia formats. Morning
|
|
presentations both from industry (<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper01/paper01.html">Alcatel</A>,

<P>The hot topic of the second day was audio and video transmission on

the Internet. It included a presentation of <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rao-rtsp-00.txt">RTSP</A>
|
|
(Real-Time Streaming Protocol) by one of the co-authors of this standard.
|
|
RTSP has been proposed on October 9 by Netscape and Progressive Networks
|
|
as a standard protocol for accessing real-time multimedia sources on the
|
|
Internet. The first set of presentations discussed the feasibility of A/V
|
|
transmission on the Internet (<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper35/paper35.ps">University

|
of Lancaster</A>, <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper28/paper28.html">Columbia

|
|
television experts (<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper27/paper27.html">Philips</A>)
|
|
discussed with Internet experts (<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper13/paper13.ps">Lulea

whether digital television services could be realized using Web technology.
|
|
The second day finished with a discussion on the future directions of W3C
|
|
work in the area of real-time multimedia on the Web.</P>

<H3>SCOPE</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>In the last year, there has been an increasing interest into the integration
|
|
of audio and video into the Web. The Web offers the unique opportunity
|
|
of fully integrating audio/video with many other media types (hypertext,
|
|
images, ...), making Web technology a contender for the "television
|
|
of the future".<BR>
|
|
However, lacking both a forum for standardisation and a common reference
|
|
implementation, current solutions for audio/video integration into the
|
|
Web tend to be piecemeal and non-interoperable. The purpose of this workshop
|
|
is to provide a forum for exploring future directions of standardisation
|
|
process in this area within the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
|
|
Participants will be representatives of W3C member organisations and other
|
|
qualified experts from research and industry.<BR>
|
|
We solicit short position papers (one to maximally five pages) describing
|
|
anything from a "wild idea" to a complete specification or implementations.
|
|
The main areas of interest include (see also "<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/AudioVideo/Activity">W3C

|
|
|
|
<P>There will be a limit of 70 participants. There is no registration fee.
|
|
Potential participants should submit to the workshop chair short position
|
|
papers of one to five pages. Most importantly, the paper should state clearly
|
|
your potential contribution to/idea on the integration of real-time multimedia
|
|
into the Web. The papers can be submitted via e-mail (preferred) or in
|
|
paper form. Allowed formats for e-mail submissions are, in order of preference:
|
|
a URL to the paper, HTML, Postscript, PDF, RTF and ASCII.<BR>
|
|
Papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Based on the reviews,
|
|
we will ask a subset of participants to present talks. To maximize the
|
|
time spent in interactive discussions, not all attendees will make presentations.
|
|
However, all position papers will be included on the workshop website,
|
|
and will appear in the printed participants' proceedings. W3C may also
|
|
publish accepted papers.<BR>
|
|
Note: The website will be available ot the general public, so position
|
|
papers must be available for public dissemination.<BR>
|
|
Workshop participants may also be interested visiting the <A HREF="http://www.isi.edu/pfhsn96/">"Protocol
|
|
for High-Speed Networks"</A> conference, which is scheduled at INRIA
|
|
Sophia-Antipolis in the week after theW3C workshop.<BR>
