DMS2013 Call For Papers

The 19th International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems
Brighton, United Kingdom
August 8 - August 10, 2013
http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms13.html

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 19th International Conference on
Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS'2013) 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.

Special issue of Journals:
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.
