DMS2011 CALL FOR PAPERS<br>
The 17th International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems<br>
(URL: <a href="http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms11.html" target="_blank">http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms11.html</a> )<br>
<br>
Convitto della Calza (<a href="http://www.calza.it/it/" target="_blank">http://www.calza.it/it/</a> ) Florence, Italy<br>
August 18 to 20, 2011<br>
<br>
With today's proliferation of multimedia data (e.g., images,<br>
animations, video, and sound), comes the challenge of using such<br>
information to facilitate data analysis, modeling, presentation,<br>
interaction and programming, particularly for end-users who are<br>
domain experts, but not IT professionals. The main theme of the 17th<br>
International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS'2011)<br>
is multimedia inspired computing. The conference organizers seek<br>
contributions of high quality papers, panels or tutorials, addressing<br>
any novel aspect of computing (e.g., programming language or<br>
environment, data analysis, scientific visualization, etc.) that<br>
significantly benefits from the incorporation/integration of<br>
multimedia data (e.g., visual, audio, pen, voice, image, etc.), for<br>
presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings.<br>
Both research and case study papers or demonstrations describing<br>
results in research area as well as industrial development cases and<br>
experiences are solicited. The use of prototypes and demonstration<br>
video for presentations is encouraged.<br>
<br>
The DMS conference is closely coordinated with the International<br>
Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, the<br>
Journal of Visual Languages and Computing and the International<br>
Journal of Distance Education Technologies. Usually the best ranked<br>
papers from the conference, after rigorous reviews, extensive<br>
revisions and further enhancements, will appear in one or more<br>
special issues of the above journals. Papers suggested for the<br>
special issue(s) will be reviewed by external reviewers following the<br>
standard procedure of review stipulated by the respective journal.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
� �Distributed Multimedia Technology<br>
� �media coding, acquisition and standards<br>
� �QoS and Quality of Experience control<br>
� �digital rights management and conditional access solutions<br>
