FEDERATED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE 
held in Szczecin, Poland, 19-21 September, 2011
 
* 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 2011 (MMAP 2011) 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 2011 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 2011 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 2011 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 are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications 
including, but are not limited to the following areas:
Image and Video Processing
