Introduction
The 2007 Euromedia conference covers the latest developments in web-multimedia and communications technology while also looking at their implementation in Broadband networking, mobile computing,
broadband networking, distributed computing, telematics, E-technology and real world environments like embedded systems, security systems and training systems. New topics are human computer interaction with a focus on the interaction of users with multimodal interfaces and the usability and experiences of users with multimodal systems based on different media.
The EUROMEDIA conference is held concurrently with the ECEC and FUBUTEC
conferences. The conference is tructures around 5 tracks: WEBTEC-
MEDIATEC-COMTEC-APTEC and ETEC
WEBTEC
The WEBTEC conference focuses on new developments with respect to
Internet, Intranet, HTML, and WWW. Because of the large amount of new tools and developments, scientific papers focusing on this subject should always include references to other ideas and products.
