The Twenty First International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems
www.ksi.edu/seke/dms15.html
August 31 - September 1, 2015, Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, Canada
Scope
The main theme of the 21st International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS2015) is Sentient Multimedia Systems, which are distributed systems capable of actively interacting with the environment by gathering, processing, interpreting, storing and retrieving multimedia information originated from sensors, robots, actuators, websites and other information sources. The conference organizers seek contributions of high quality papers, panels or tutorials, addressing any novel aspect of sentient multimedia systems that significantly benefits from the incorporation/integration of multimedia data (e.g., visual, audio, pen, voice, image, etc.), for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings and JVLC journal. Both research and case study papers or demonstrations describing results in research area as well as industrial development cases and experiences are solicited. The use of prototypes and demonstration video for presentations is encouraged.
An extra large special issue of JVLC
The Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC), which is indexed by SCI, EI, DBLP, Scopus and other indexers, will publish around forty selected papers of DMS/VLC/DET2015 in the December 2015 extra large special issue of JVLC. The conference will publish the proceedings available to authors and conference attendees. Selected papers will go through three rounds of reviews so that they can be further improved to meet the standard of JVLC.
Workshops and Special Sessions
This year, DMS2015 will be held in conjunction with workshops and special sections. Papers submitted to workshops or special sessions are invited by the program committee chairs of the workshops/special sessions. This joint organization aims to collect research results from different perspectives. The following workshops are being planned:
