Summary
-------
This special issue invites high quality scientific contributions in 
multimedia semantic computing, with a focus on how to apply the semantic 
technologies to the acquisition, generation, transmission, storage, 
processing, and retrieval of large-scale multimedia information. 
Discussions on future challenges in multimedia information manipulation, 
as well as practical solutions for the design and implementation of 
multimedia database software systems are also encouraged.

Authors of the selected best papers of The 2nd IEEE International 
Workshop on Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems and Applications 
(IEEE-DSMSA 2009) will be invited to submit extended versions of their 
papers for this special issue, 
http://zimmer.csufresno.edu/~yucao/Service/DSMSA2009.htm.

------
