The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee (MMSP TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The workshop will bring together researchers and developers from different fields working on multimedia signal processing to share their experience, exchange ideas, explore future research directions and network. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:

* Image/video/speech/audio processing
* Multimedia communications & networking
* Multimedia quality assessment
* Internet of Things (IoT)-based multimedia systems and applications
* Multimedia hardware design
* Multimedia databases and digital libraries
* Multimedia security and forensics

* Multimedia big data analytics
* Deep Learning for multimedia
* Multimedia processing for tele-rehabilitation
* Multimedia for smart homes & elderly care
* Augmented, mixed and virtual reality
* Signal processing and learning for big biological /biomedical data
* Multimedia systems and emerging applications

Prospective authors are invited to submit regular and special session papers (full paper, 4-6 pages) and demo papers (1 page). Manuscripts should be original and written in accordance with the standard IEEE 2-column paper template. Accepted full-length papers will be indexed on IEEE Xplore. Accepted abstracts will not be indexed in IEEE Xplore, however the demo papers and/or the presentations will be included in the IEEE SPS SigPort. All accepted papers will be included in the digital conference proceedings.
