This collection contains the proceedings of the NIME 2002 Conference. In order to browse, view, and print the papers, you will need:

1. A WWW-browser software such as Netscape Navigator/Communicator or MS Internet Explorer
2. Adobe Acrobat Reader software (preferably version 4 or above), available free from Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html

Demonstration files

Several papers contain links to related demonstration files, usually audio or video files. Files that are directly related to the text in the paper, are linked from the specific part of the text. Some files are linked from headings in the paper. In this case, there is usually a note in the paper indicating the existence of extra files.

Known Problems

• Not all versions of the Acrobat Reader software support the search functionality. You may want to check http://www.adobe.com/ for another version of the Reader.
• The search page is not always able to open the index file for the proceedings. You can add the index file by clicking the "Indexes..." button in the Adobe Acrobat Search dialog box and by adding the file "proc_idx.pdx" in the "navig" subdirectory of the CD-ROM to the list of indexes.
• The browser plug-in implementations of the Acrobat Reader software may not be able to open the files from the search results dialog box.
• On some platforms, the web browsers open the PDF files from a temporary file generated on the disk. This may cause the links in the PDF files to stop working.

Workaround

You can start browsing the proceedings by opening the index.pdf file from the CD-ROM in the Acrobat Reader (not in a web browser). Navigating inside the Reader should enable successful searching.
