    Academic conferences are a long-standing and effective form of
    multimedia communication.  Conference participants can transmit and
    recieve information through sight, speech, gesture, text, and touch.
    This same-time, same-place communication is sufficiently valuable to
    justify large investments in time and travel funds.  Printed
    conference proceedings are attempts to recapture the value of a life
    conference, but they are limited by a fragmented and inefficient
    approach to the problem.  We addressed this problem in the multimedia
    proceedings of the DAGS'92 conference.  The recently published CD-ROM
    delibers text, graphic, audio, and video information as an integrated
    whole, with extensive provisions for random access and hypermedia
    linking.  We belive that this project provides a model for future
    conference publications and highlights some of the research issues
    that must be resolved before similar publications can be quickly and
    inexpensively produced.
