Systems

Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, Canada

Scope

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.


An extra large special issue of JVLC

The Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC), which is indexed by 
SCI, EI, DBLP, Scopus and other indexers, will publish around forty 
selected papers of DMS/VLC/DET2015 in the December 2015 extra large 
special issue of JVLC. The conference will publish the proceedings 
available to authors and conference attendees. Selected papers will go 
through three rounds of reviews so that they can be further improved to 
meet the standard of JVLC.
