Research in multimedia computing is generally concerned with presentation,
integration and computation of one or more media, such as text, image,
graphics, audio, video, social data, and data collected from various
sensors, etc., using computing techniques. The IEEE International Symposium
on Multimedia (ISM2016) is the flagship conference of IEEE Technical
Committee on Multimedia (TCMC) and an international forum for researchers
to exchange information regarding advances in the state of the art and
practice of multimedia computing, as well as to identify the emerging
research topics and define the future of multimedia computing. The technical
program of ISM2016 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations,
and panel discussions. Submissions are solicited for full papers,
workshop papers, demos and industrial papers.
