FEDERATED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE
held in Szczecin, Poland, 18 -21 September, 2011
http://www.fedcsis.org/

* 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
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

* 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 and DBLP.
    * 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
