The French Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (INA) has just created a
multimedia server centre on the Internet: Mediaport, http://www.mediaport.net/),
which will make available the photographs, radio recordings and films for the
most part taken from the French radio and television archives administrated by
INA.
With the support of the Ministry for Higher Education and Research, INA has
decided to create within Mediaport a special section for computer generated
images of a scientific nature. This section will be called CyberScience and it
will present significant samples of computer generated images which have been
created for scientific and technical purposes such as computer generated
simulation and animation used.
We are asking all computer graphics research laboratories and production
studios using computer graphics to make available to CyberScience samples of
their work. The restrictions are that the work must have been done with the
use of a computer and that it must be of a scientific nature. Owing to the
fact that CyberScience is a not for profit service and that its objectives are
purely educational, the information posted must be free of copyright(*).
Mediaport's CyberScience service will thus make available to the users of the
Internet a vaste array of the scientific applications of computer graphics.
CyberScience's database will also be linked to other similar services on the
Internet.
(*) the scientific accuracy of the information made available on the server are
the responsibility of those providing the information.
Initially Cyberscience will provide a chronological review of scientific films
and images; these excerpts will be selected from Imagina's research
category of the Pixel Prize as well as from conference videos taken from
Imagina 1993-1994. Enclosed with this letter is a Release and
Authorization Form for the projects which have been chosen in this manner.
So as to establish as complete a database as possible, we kindly request that
you fill out the Information Form also enclosed. The information provided will
be presented along with the work unless you specifically wish otherwise.
Note that the information requested in bold type is absolutely necessary for
posting!

So as to be accessible to the World Wide Web the following formats will be
used for video images: quicktime, Cinepack compression, 15 frames/second,
