	abstract = {Hypermedia is currently the trend in delivering information composed of various
forms of media. Up to now most systems lack the ability to present the user with
hypermedia information containing various media that have specific spatio-temporal
relations. In this paper we propose and describe a model that can describe such kinds
of hypermedia presentations. The core of the model is an HTML-like language that
supports tags for the description of timing relations between the information objects
that compose a hypermedia presentation.},

	pages = { 20 - 26},
	abstract = {The rapid developments in the Information Technology sector as well as the
deployment of faster networks brings us to the era of the New Information
Technology (NIT). The citizen of the near future must be able to use them else he will
be seriously handicapped in his everyday life. Thus NIT becomes part of the
educational process while on the other hand offers the tools and the infrastructure for
the establishment of the distance education process. The educators are one of the first
professions that must learn to use NIT and its tools. Multimedia/hypermedia tools
offer solutions to the problems posed by the distance education process. They can be
user-friendly and enticing and they can cover most, if not all, the needs of their users.
A lot of prototype systems (tools) for distance education have been developed, each
offering a number of functions that aid the process of distance education. The rapid
growth of World Wide Web is adding another factor that can lead to the wider
deployment of distance education systems. Although the value of distance education
is unquestionable there is still a lot of work to be done before a wide spread
implementation platform emerges.},

This environment offers audio communication over the network as well as support for joint editing of text documents and still images. It supports different audio coding techniques so as to adjust to the available bandwidth, and makes use of the RTP protocol in order to facilitate the exchange of audio and, in the future, video packets.</p>

interact with the service requesting multimedia docu-

mitted over dierent parallel connections according to

lationships among document{\textquoteright}s media components.

buering manipulation mechanisms and grading of the

	abstract = {In this paper we present a software tool for the realisation of the distance education
service, that is the conduction of classes through the use of computers. The classes
are directed towards personnel in various areas and aim at the retraining and update
of the personnel in subjects of special interest in their line of work. The conduction of
classes takes place, from and towards, remote regions with the aid of a computer network.
Hippocrates is a flexible and easy-to-use application, which permits students, who sit in
front of remotely situated workstations, to attend classes or seminars given by a teacher
or expert, who can also be located in some remote geographical area. Hippocrates can be
thought of as a distributed transparency projector. The teacher can project transparencies
on the screens of the students{\textquoteright} workstations and can emphasize or indicate regions of
interest on them by using the graphical tools offered by Hippocrates. Immediate results
of the use of Hippocrates are the fast updating of the personnel in remote areas and the
upgrading of the quality of the services they offer.},
