This CD contains HTML files related to the papers published
in the book.
In most cases, the demonstrations elaborate on the content of
the printed papers, and should be seen as complementary to them,
providing additional visual material.
In other cases, they are totally rewritten contributions about
the same subject but with different formatting and some new
material, including video or interactive models.
Because of the technical difficulties of carrying out
language editing on this material, it was decided to publish the
demos as the authors supplied them.
Some material is still in the original language (especially
where taken from screen views), and there may also be some minor
errors in English.
COPYRIGHT exists on all materials in this CD, which are
the property of individual authors or their institutions.
No part of this material, or its text, images, videos or virtual
models can be copied, printed or distributed without written
permission from the individuals concerned.
Despite considerable effort, some technical deficiencies
might remain, such as inactive links.
Furthermore, the CD-ROM is a compromise between speed and
resolution, so that some recordings (especially VRML models and
movies) are at a lower resolution compared to the original files
Depending on the computer used, it might still take some time to
load the heavier files.
Some papers call for additional software.
For best results, you should use Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0
or higher or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher, and install
additional plug-ins.
We have included installation programs for CosmoPlayer 2.1,
QuickTime 4.0, Shockwave, PowerPoint Viewer. See the Free Software Folder
at the root level (directory) of this CD.
Installation is very easy, but in the case of QuickTime and
Shockwave, you need a computer with an Internet connection to
be able to download some files.
We suggest installing all this software before reading the
contents.
This CD can be read on a Macintosh computer, using the
appropriate versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Communicator.
You should install QuickTime, Shockwave and the CosmoPlayer
plug-ins. Mac versions of those plug-ins have not been included
here.
To use the Web links on this CD, the computer must be
connected to Internet.
For any question about the book or the papers, you should
contact the individual authors.
