MMSP 2014 is the 16th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. This year’s event has a new theme “Internet-of-Thing (IoT) Multimedia”. The theme covers multiple research areas of multimedia signal processing including processing, analysis, networking, security, database and visualization with emphasis on issues, challenges and solutions arising from their synergy with the emerging IoT paradigm. To recognize high quality research papers, MMSP 2014 will be giving out awards for the best paper, best student paper and best poster. Nominations for the awards will be based on the significance and potential impact to the scientific community. The topics for regular sessions include, but are not limited to:
