With around 1000 submissions and 500 participants each year, the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) has been the flagship multimedia conference sponsored by four IEEE societies since 2000. It serves as a forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems, and applications from both the research and development perspectives of the circuits and systems, communications, computer, and signal processing communities. In 2016, an Exposition of multimedia products, prototypes and animations will be held in conjunction with the conference.

Authors are invited to submit a full paper (two-column format, 6 pages maximum) according to the guidelines available on the conference website at http://icme2016.org/. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Speech, audio, image, video, text and new sensor signal processing

ICME 2016 aims to have high quality oral and poster presentations. Several awards sponsored by industry and institutions will be given out. Best papers will be presented in a single‐track session to all participants. Accepted papers should be presented, or else they will not be included in the IEEE Xplore Library.

A number of Workshops will be organized by the sponsoring societies. To further foster new emerging topics, ICME 2016 also welcomes researchers, developers and practitioners to organize regular Workshops. Industrial exhibitions are held in parallel with the main conference. Proposals for Special Sessions, Tutorials, and Demos are also invited. Please visit the ICME 2016 website for submission details.
