within the framework FEDERATED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE
held in Lodz, Poland, September 13-16, 2015
* CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS
Multimedia information has become ubiquitous on the web and it is 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, educational and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, retrieving, displaying and interacting with multimedia data.
The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2015 (MMAP 2015) 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 applications.
As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and original contributions. The key objective of the MMAP conference is to gather results from academia and industry partners working in all sub-fields of multimedia: content design, development, authoring and evaluation, systems/tools oriented research and development. We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middle-ware - 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 2015 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 2015 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 2015 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.
We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to the FedCSIS 2015 - a yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation with the IEEE Region 8, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, IEEE Poland (Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing, International Federation for Information Processing, European Alliance for Innovation, Informatics Europe, IEEE-CIS Poland Section Chapter, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática, Committee of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Society for Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of Information Technology and Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of Commerce for High Technology and Eastern Cluster ICT Poland, Mazovia Cluster ICT.

PAPER SUBMISSION, PUBLICATION AND INDEXATION
Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
The total length of a paper should not exceed 12 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates are available on site.
Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism). Preprints containing accepted papers will be published on a USB memory stick provided to the FedCSIS participants.
Only papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore® database and submitted for indexation in: Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, SciVerse Scopus, Inspec, DBLP Computer Science Bibliography and Google Scholar and other repositories.
Conference proceedings will be published in a volume with ISBN and ISSN numbers and posted at the conference WWW site.
Conference proceedings will be indexed in BazEkon and submitted for indexation in: Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, SciVerse Scopus, Inspec, Index Copernicus, DBLP Computer Science Bibliography and Google Scholar.
Extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference will be published as Special Issue(s). Currently, a special issue of the Computer Science and Information Systems journal (ISI Indexed - the Journal ComSIS journal indexed by Tomson Reuters  http://www.comsis.org/indexing.php) is being prepared on the basis of selected papers from the MMAP 2013 and it will be published in 2015.
Special issue, based on the selected MMAP 2015 submissions is planned for the BDI Journal of Computer Science & Applications http://www.tmrfindia.org/ijcsa.html furthermore, we are in active negotiations for additional Special Issue(s) based on the papers accepted for the MMAP 2016.

BEST PAPER AWARD
A best paper award will be made for work of high quality presented at the MMAP Symposium. The technical committee in conjunction with the organizing/steering committee will decide on the qualifying papers. Award comprises a certificate for the authors and will be announced on time of conference.
