Computer Society's double-column format including results, figures and
references. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the
followings:
- Pervasive Multimedia Computing
- Ambient Intelligence
- Multi-Modal User Interface
- Smart Environments
- Multimedia Information Retrieval
- Multimedia in Telemedicine
- Protocols for Ubiquitous Services
