ICMCS'09 is organized with the objective of bringing together researchers,
developers,
and practitioners from academia and industry working in all facets of
multimedia, content
authoring, processor technology, and systems design. The conference serves
as a forum for
the dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development, and
implementations of multimedia
systems, technologies, and applications.
A key objective of ICMCS'2009 is to create a program that achieves a balance
between theory and
practice, academia and industry, systems/tools-oriented research and content
creation.
ICMCS'09 is an IEEE technically co-sponsored conference. We are planning to
have the papers
published in this conference's proceedings to be published in the IEEE
Digital Library and to
publish two special issues of international journals (*) out of selected
papers from those
presented in it.
