                             April 18-20
                           Valencia, Spain


The 2001 SCS Euromedia conference brings together three
individual conferences (WEBTEC, MEDIATEC and COMTEC)
culminating in two applications conferences (APTEC and ETEC).
Euromedia is a scientific event, and focuses on the exchange of new
technology, methods, tools, and applications in the wide field of
multimedia Information and Communications Technology (ICT). A
scientific event means that rather than just showing new tools and
ideas, the focus is on scientific presentations, based on refereed
papers with adequate underlying theory and if possible empirical
testing of results. The fields covered at this conference include Web
technology, multimedia, telecommunications, mobile computing,
broadband networking, distributed computing, and telematics.
Furthermore, this year Euromedia will feature also a  "Partners for
Projects Session"

The conference is organised by the European Simulation Office of
the Society for Computer Simulation International (SCS). SCS has
been a professional institution for over 40 years. In Europe, scientific
conferences on simulation and related topics have been organised
by SCS since 1986.

For this scientific conference, it is possible to send in full papers and
extended abstracts that will be published in the proceedings. In
addition, you can submit short papers or poster presentations,
product or vendor presentations, and proposals for panel

such, that the paper can be worked out into a 6 page two-column
10 point paper for the published paper in the proceedings. During
review, the submitted FULL PAPERS or EXTENDED
ABSTRACTS can be accepted by the IPC, as either an extended
(8 pages) paper if excellent, or as a regular (6 pages) paper. Each
submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the
International Program Committee. It is also possible to submit a
SHORT PAPER (1-2 page submission) to the conference. Short
papers should also be structured as a scientific paper and will be
refereed by at least one member of the IPC, but the rules are applied
less strict. Short papers are an ideal outlet for current research or
industrial applications. Deadline for short paper submission is
