Main Theme of DMS2016: Sentient Multimedia Systems

The main theme of the 22nd International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS'2016) is Sentient Multimedia Systems, which are distributed systems capable of actively interacting with the environment by gathering, processing, interpreting, storing and retrieving multimedia information originated from sensors, robots, actuators, websites and other information sources.

Second Theme of DMS2016: Multimedia Computing and Cultural Heritage

The second theme of DMS2016 is Multimedia Computing and Cultural Heritage. We welcome papers on all aspects of this theme, including both technologically oriented and culturally oriented approaches.

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. 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.

DMS2016 Selected Papers will be published as special issues of JVLC and VLSS

The Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC), and the Journal of Visual Languages and Sentient Systems (VLSS), will each publish selected papers of DMS/VLC/DET2016 as special issues. The conference will first publish a proceedings available in print and online to authors and conference attendees. The VLSS special issue will be published as a part of the proceedings. The JVLC special issue will be published as part of the July 2017 isse of JVLC.
