Conferences

Smart Multimedia is a focused forum that aims to promote the exchange of information on the latest advances in multimedia technologies, systems, and applications from research, development, and industrial perspectives. In addition to an in-person meeting, due to pandemic travel restrictions we will be hosting some virtual presentations and opportunities for participation. Virtual attendees will receive a discount on the registration rate. If you need an invitation letter for your Visa, please send an email to [email protected].

Authors are invited to submit a full paper (12-15 pages in Springer format) according to the guidelines available on the conference website at www.SmartMultimedia.org. For short/industrial papers, 8-11 pages in Springer format will be needed. Page limits may be extended by the Program Chairs based on special requests. Electronic submissions are required. An option for submitting extended abstracts instead of full final versions for review will be posted on the conference website.

Indexing: Proceedings will be made available on the following indexing services: ISI & Science (CPCI-S), EI Engineering Index, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus, and Zentralblatt MATH.P

Extensions or work related to conference papers will be sought for Special Issues of selected journals. The proceedings will be published by Springer. In addition, authors of accepted papers may submit related or extended work with considerable amounts of new material to Special Issues in ACM Transactions on Multimedia  (TOMM) or Remote Sensing (Impact Factor 4.848).
