With rapid growth of computer and communication technologies,
creation, modification and distribution of digital multimedia
information has become easier than ever. Such multimedia information includes
still images, video, audio, texts as well as artifacts in virtual space.
Efficient storage of high-quality information and high speed access to it
is crucial to today's many organizations.
The purpose of this symposium is to provide an international forum for
researchers and engineers to present and discuss on various aspects of
digital media information base with special emphasis on extension to
