Fourth International Conference on
Intelligent Multimedia Computing and Networking
July 21-26, 2005
Salt Lake City Marriott City Center
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/~immcn05
In conjunction with
Eighth Joint Conference on Information Sciences
(JCIS 2005)
Theme and Scope
In the last few years we have witnessed an explosive growth of multimedia computing,
communication and applications. The few key technologies interact in an interesting and
yet useful way, bringing along the multimedia revolution. This revolution is transforming
the way people live, work, and interact with each other, and is impacting the way
businesses, government services, education, entertainment, and health care are operating.
The enabling technology is based on the infrastructure of seamless communication, over the
wired environment as well as the wireless environment. Following the rapid increase in
penetration rate of the broadband services, and the imminent depolyment of the 3G wireless
infrastructure, coupled with the Wi-Fi, users are beginning to enjoy multimedia services
readily. Yet, several issues related to modeling, specification, analysis and design of
distributed multimedia systems and intelligent multimedia applications are still
challenging to both researchers and practitioners. IMMCN 2005, a constituent of JCIS 2005,
serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas among researchers, developers, and
practitioners from around the world, contributing to all facets in the field of
intelligent multimedia systems and technology. Furthermore, all participants of this
conference would benefit from the communication and interaction with related research
communities.
The conference organizers seek contributions of high quality papers addressing various
aspects of intelligent multimedia systems and applications, especially under the Internet,
Intranet and wireless network environment, for presentation at the conference and
publication in the JCIS proceedings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 | Intelligent and Next-Generation Networking

Papers must be written in English. Please send a softcopy or four hardcopies of your 4-page
extended summary (10 point, double column, and single-spaced) and your choice of
a full length double-spaced complete manuscript (include figures and references)
to the conference chair. Electronic submission to
immcn05@comp.polyu.edu.hk is
highly encouraged. The conference proceedings will publish the four pages
of extended summary. Submitted papers will be
reviewed by the PC members of the IMMCN 2005 conference. The conference organizers may
also invite researchers to submit qualified papers related to the above topics.
Selected best papers will be considered for publication in a special issue
of the Multimedia Tools and Applications: An International Journal.
Invited/Special Sessions
Papers submitted to special sessions are invited by special session chairs. Special
sessions aim to collect research results from different qualified perspectives. Please
