For 16 years, the multimedia computing and networking conference has brought together researchers, practitioners and developers to contribute new ideas in all facets of multimedia systems, networking, applications, and other related areas of computing. Traditionally the conference features presentations of full and short papers, a keynote talk, and a panel of experts. Presenters are encouraged to make multimedia presentations and demonstrate their proposed solutions. Authors of a few accepted papers with the highest quality are invited to submit the extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal.
