Book Description
This book presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Category Theory and Computer Science, CTCS '95, held in Cambridge, UK in August 1995.
The 15 revised full papers included in the volume document the exploitation of links between logic and category theory leading to a solid basis for much of the understanding of the semantics of computation. Notable amongst other advances is the introduction of linear logic and other substructural logics, providing a new approach to proof theory. Further aspects covered are semantics of lambda calculi and type theories, program specification and development, and domain theory.

Book Description
This book includes 2 keynote presentations, 18 papers and 1 demonstration presented at this year's Eurographics multimedia workshop. A wide range of subjects were covered, from media production to content processing and delivery, with a special focus on issues related to interactive video environments. These included standards and approaches for interactive television, hypervideo, collaborative video, augmented reality, mobile multimedia, the integration of TV and the web, content analysis, processing and presentation. The papers are organized in six sessions: 3D in multimedia, multimedia architectures and authoring, video and coding, content based retrieval and security, interactive media and interactive TV. The keynote presentation by V. M. Bove provided insights into new architectures for large scale pervasive computing and the one by G. Davenport discussed the relations between creativity and interactive movies as participatory art enabled by new media. The demonstration presented a multimedia system for aerobics and fitness training. ... Read more
