An Asian digital libraries perspective

摘要

This introduces a special issue of IP&M that covers some of the best works from the International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries, 2002. Eight papers, from eight countries, cover a broad range of topics and themes. Many present models, algorithms, systems, and/or experiments. There are approaches based on probability theory, linguistics, user-centered design, and multimedia technologies. It is hoped that readers will apply key results, and participate in future ICADL events.
