DMS2011 CALL FOR PAPERS The 17th International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (URL: http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms11.html )
Convitto della Calza (http://www.calza.it/it/ ) Florence, Italy August 18 to 20, 2011
With today's proliferation of multimedia data (e.g., images, animations, video, and sound), comes the challenge of using such information to facilitate data analysis, modeling, presentation, interaction and programming, particularly for end-users who are domain experts, but not IT professionals. The main theme of the 17th International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS'2011) is multimedia inspired computing. The conference organizers seek contributions of high quality papers, panels or tutorials, addressing any novel aspect of computing (e.g., programming language or environment, data analysis, scientific visualization, etc.) 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. 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.
The DMS conference is closely coordinated with the International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing and the International Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Usually the best ranked papers from the conference, after rigorous reviews, extensive revisions and further enhancements, will appear in one or more special issues of the above journals. Papers suggested for the special issue(s) will be reviewed by external reviewers following the standard procedure of review stipulated by the respective journal.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Distributed Multimedia Technology media coding, acquisition and standards QoS and Quality of Experience control digital rights management and conditional access solutions privacy and security issues mobile devices and wireless networks mobile intelligent applications sensor networks, environment control and management Distributed Multimedia Models and Systems human-computer interaction languages for distributed multimedia multimedia software engineering issues semantic computing and processing media grid computing, cloud and virtualization web services and multi-agent systems multimedia databases and information systems multimedia indexing and retrieval systems multimedia and cross media authoring Applications of Distributed Multimedia Systems collaborative and social multimedia systems and solutions humanities and cultural heritage applications, management and fruition multimedia preservation cultural heritage preservation, management and fruition distance and lifelong learning emergency and safety management e-commerce and e-government applications health care management and disability assistance intelligent multimedia computing internet multimedia computing virtual, mixed and augmented reality user profiling, reasoning and recommendations

An electronic version (Postscript, PDF, or MS Word format) of the full paper should be submitted using the following URL: http://conf.ksi.edu/dms2011/submit/SubmitPaper.php (submission site will be open Jan 1, 2011). Manuscript must include a 200-word abstract and no more than 6 pages of IEEE double column text (include figures and references). All submissions must not be published or under consideration for publication in a journal or in a conference with proceedings. Papers will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness and clarify of exposition. Depending upon the results of evaluation a paper may be accepted as regular paper (6 pages), short paper (4 pages) or poster (poster presentation only).
