The conference organizers seek contributions of high quality papers, panels or tutorials, addressing any novel aspect of sentient multimedia systems 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 and JVLC journal. Both research and case study papers or demonstrations describing results in research area as well as industrial development cases and experiences are solicited.
