Abstract | It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the First ACM International Workshop on Experiential Telepresence. This workshop builds upon the ACM SIGMM 2002 Workshop on Immersive Telepresence (ITP2002) held in conjunction with ACM Multimedia last year. Last year's workshop and panel involved a lively debate on what really needs to be transmitted for telepresence. One of the conclusions was that the quality of experience is of paramount importance.We would like this workshop to facilitate a new debate in multimedia on creation, archival, representation and transmission of electronic experiences. The notion of an experience implies skill, facility, practical wisdom, or insight gained by personal knowledge, feeling or action. We are in need of models for knowledge spaces that facilitate new forms of creativity, knowledge exploration and social relationships. The design and measures of performance of such experiential telepresence systems should be centred on the end user. The goal of this workshop is to foster a community of researchers advancing the various technical and socio-technical aspects of experiential telepresence.An event of this kind is only as good as the quality of the people it can bring together. We have been fortunate to have a diverse program committee of research leaders of the highest expertise and reputation, who showed enthusiasm and support for this workshop. A total of fifteen papers were accepted, nine for oral presentation, and six for poster presentation. The end result is a program of high quality papers providing an excellent snapshot of the state of research today in experiential telepresence. We hope that this mix of oral and poster presentations will encourage vital and vibrant discussions of results and ideas. A highlight of this workshop is the panel on "Experiential Telepresence: How Can Telepresence Research be Guided Towards Better End User Experience". Each of the panellists is a visionary in his or her own right and we are confident that this panel will go a long way in stimulating and guiding future research in this area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
