International Multiconference on Computer Science and Information Technology 
in Wisla, Poland, October 18-20, 2010

* CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS
 Multimedia information has become ubiquitous on the web, creating new challenges for indexing, access, search and retrieval. 
Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and 
information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile 
devices - such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and
cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent 
pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a 
multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide 
spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, and governmental domains. Yet 
many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, 
mining, querying, searching, and retrieving multimedia data. 
The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2010 (MMAP 2010) Symposium addresses several themes 
related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas 
(medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, 
innovative multimedia algorithms and application.
As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners in order to communicate 
their newest and original contributions on topics that have been identified (see below). We are also interested in looking at 
service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related 
security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel 
applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked 
entertainment and games. However, innovative contributions that don't exactly fit into these areas will also be considered 
because they might be of benefit to conference attendees.

* CALL FOR PAPERS

MMAP 2010 is a major forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions.
The MMAP 2010 Symposium welcomes submissions of original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. MMAP 2010 invites original previously unpublished contributions that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference.
Papers acceptance and publication will be judged based on their relevance to the symposium theme, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.

* TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following areas:
Image and Video Processing 
Speech, Audio and Music Processing
3D and Stereo Imaging 
Distributed Multimedia Systems 
Multimedia Databases, Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval
Data Mining
Multimedia in E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications
Multimedia in Medical Applications 
Multimedia Authentication and Watermarking
Entertainment and games
Multimedia Interfaces 

* PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
·         Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the symposium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. 
·         Accepted and presented papers will be published as paper in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database.
·         Extended versions of selected best papers will be published in a special issue of IJCSA: International Journal of Computer Science & Applications, ISSN 0972-9038. http://www.tmrfindia.org/ijcsa.html 
·         Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file). 
·         The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages (LNCS style). LNCS style templates are available.
