Conference and Exhibition
Interactive Multimedia (IMM), the new generation
technology, is a convergence of computer technology and
such systems as laser disc, CD ROM and CDI. IMM holds
enormous potential for education, training, libraries,
museums and public information programs. It provides
unique opportunities for productive collaboration
between education and industry. Significantly, it also
provides the basis of a new courseware development
industry with export potential.
The organisers of IIMS have planned this event to:
. address the opportunities presented by IMM
