<strong>The</strong> Institute for Information Systems and Computer Media (IICM), which is <strong>part</strong> of the Faculty of Computer<br />
Science at the Graz University of Technology, is a research unit that has worked for about fifteen years<br />
exclusively on multi- and hypermedia and their applications to education and electronic publishing. It has some<br />
30 staff members, both <strong>part</strong> and full-time. Among other major undertakings, it has developed the large<br />
networked multimedia system Hyper-G, which is now marketed as Hyperwave. <strong>The</strong> IICM has also laid the<br />
ground work necessary for the electronic publishing of books, journals, general multimedia material and<br />
multimedia courseware. In <strong>part</strong>icular, it produces the electronic journal J.UCS published by the University of<br />
Technology Graz and the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in co-operation with Know-Center Graz. Researchers at<br />
