The Tenth ACM International Multimedia Conference will be held on the
French Riviera, renown for its beaches facing the azure Mediterranean,
its proximity to Provence and the Alps, its sunny and mild winter
climate, its sunsets, and its fine wine and dining. The Riviera is
also the home of the Cannes Film Festival, an annual multimedia event.
The conference will be held near Sophia Antipolis, a major European
center for computer technology, communications and multimedia, which
includes major research organizations such as INRIA, EURECOM and the
W3C, as well and major industrial employers such as Amadeus, IBM,
Motorola, Siemens, France Telecom, and Texas Instruments. The
conference complements this setting by presenting and exploring
technological advancements in multimedia. Technical issues, theory and
practice, as well as artistic and consumer innovations will bring
together researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners of
multimedia.

Multimedia 2002 cordially invites your participation in this premier
annual multimedia event by submitting your work in all aspects of
multimedia computing: from underlying technologies to applications,
from theory to practice, and from servers to networks to end-user
devices.

  - DAY-LONG WORKSHOPS on topics of great current interest to members
    of the multimedia research community will follow the technical
    program.

  - The DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM is a venue for doctoral students in
    computer science or related areas to present their research and
