ICME 2010 - IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) 2011 Invitation to Submit Proposals

The Steering Committee of the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo invites proposals to host the
2011 and 2012 conference editions. With typically around 1000 submissions and 500 participants each year, the
IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo has been the flagship multimedia conference sponsored by
four IEEE societies since 2000. It serves as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia
technologies, systems, and applications from both the research and development perspectives of the circuits and
systems, communications, computer, and signal processing communities.
Proposals are open to all regions. A letter of intent should be submitted electronically to the ICME Steering
Committee Chair, Prof. Wenjun Zeng, at zengw-AT-missouri.edu by March 15, 2010. Full proposals should be
submitted electronically by May 15, 2010 for 2011 proposals and July 1, 2010 for 2012 proposals. ICME has been
revamped recently, with major format changes (e.g., TPC chairs selection, 6-page papers, 15%+15% acceptance rate
for oral and poster papers, etc.) summarized at http://www.ieee-icme.org/. A strong (internationally renowned) and
highly motivated organizing committee is expected. Proposals should address the following content, format and
scheduling requirements, and are encouraged to be innovative in format and content. Proponents are strongly
encouraged to present their proposals at the next ICME Steering Committee meeting to be held during ICME 2010
in Singapore.
