2013 IEEE 11th Symposium on Embedded Systems for Real-time Multimedia (ESTIMedia 2013)

Multimedia plays an important role in our daily activities and has become one of the most relevant technological innovations. The ever more increasing computational and communication requirements demanded by current and next generation multimedia devices together with energy constraints which characterize portable devices require innovative design methodologies and tools. The IEEE ESTIMedia aims to bring together people from different multimedia-related research communities who have worked separately, but did not interact sufficiently to address the challenges facing the design of hardware and software for multimedia systems. The 11th edition of ESTIMedia is continuing to be run in Embedded System Week and will provide a forum for researchers, from academia and industry, to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to embedded systems for real-time multimedia. */Like in 2012, a subset of the accepted papers will be published in the ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS), Special Issue for ESTIMedia 2013/*. The rest of the accepted papers will be published in the symposium electronic proceedings and included in the IEEE Digital Library.
