OVERVIEW

Multimedia technologies and intelligent computing are emerging rapidly as
an exciting paradigm including multimedia signal processing, information
hiding, evolutionary computing such as neural network and fuzzy theory to
enable the process of creating applications of intelligent computing in
multimedia for various domains.

This workshop on Multimedia, Information Privacy and Intelligent Computing
Systems is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art
research in the area of multimedia and intelligent computing including
multimedia signal processing, information security, soft computing such as
neural network, fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm, and novel applications
of intelligent computing in multimedia. As a follow-up to the workshop, we
plan to publish high quality papers, covering the various theories and
practical applications related to multimedia and intelligent computing.

The published papers are expected to present high level results to solve
the application services and various problems in the multimedia and
intelligent computing fields. In addition, we expect they will trigger
further related research and technological improvements of the multimedia
and intelligent computing.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from academia
and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems, and
solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Information Technology
as related to multimedia and the applications of intelligent computing in
multimedia.


PROCEEDINGS

With regard to the papers submitted to MPIS-2009, all accepted papers will
be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE
(indexed by EI) - approval pending.

Authors should submit full paper with 8 pages, regular paper with 6 pages,
and short paper with 4 pages in length by using online systems for review.
Please use the IEEE CS Proceedings format (MS-WORD or LaTeX).
