<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The main theme of the 21st International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS2015) 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. 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 and JVLC journal. 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.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
