IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo (ICME) is a major annual international conference organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas in multimedia. ICME serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development, and implementations of multimedia systems, technologies and applications. ICME is co-sponsored by four IEEE societies (the Circuits and Systems Society, the Communications Society, the Computer Society, and the Signal Processing Society).
The past conferences were held in New York City, NY, USA (2000), Tokyo, Japan (2001), Lausanne, Switzerland (2002), Baltimore, MD, USA (2003), Taipei, Taiwan (2004) and Amsterdam, Netherlands (2005). In addition to paper presentations, the ICME 2006 features distinguished keynote speeches, tutorials, and special sessions. Continuing the spirit of the conference series, ICME 2006 will also host industrial exhibitions.
