. Components and technologies for multimedia systems
(audio/visual/text/others)
. Mobile/wearable systems
. Human-computer interface and interaction
. Multimedia database and file systems
. System integration
. Applications (e-commerce/video-on-demand/telemedicine/distant
education/others)
. Standards and related issues

column format. The top of the first page of the paper should include a
