Computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. It is a subfield of computer graphics and animation. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for low bandwidth and faster real-time rendering needs. Computer Graphics is one of the leading aspects of Multimedia Technology. Computer Graphic development has been used in many areas like animation, movies, advertising, graphic design, and video games. This session deals with the novel topics and applications in Computer Graphics

3D printing is one of the assorted processes used to incorporate a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, preservative processes are used, in which consecutive layers of material are arranged down under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape and are composed of a 3D model or other electronic data sources. The technology is used in the fields of jewelry, footwear, engineering, architecture, industrial design, construction, automotive, aerospace, dental and geographic information systems, medical industries, education, civil engineering, and many others.

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of pictures in very buffer storage intended for output to a display device. GPUs are utilized in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

Virtual reality used to depict a three-dimensional, computer-generated environment which can be explored and interacted by a person. The person becomes a part of that virtual world and able to perform a series of actions. It is also known as Immersive Multimedia. Virtual reality will be experienced by using a range of systems such as headsets and gloves. These are used to stimulate our senses in order to create the illusion of reality. Augmented and Mixed reality came into existence from VR. There are numerous applications for Virtual reality which include VR Technology for Engineering, Business Benefits of Virtual Reality in Industrial Manufacturing, VR and AR: Transforming the Automotive Industry, VR for Education, VR in the Medical Sector and so on.

Computer games are video games played on a personal computer when compared to dedicated video game console or arcade machine. Their defining aspects include a lack of any consolidated controlling authority, a bigger degree of user control over the gaming hardware and software used and commonly greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

Image processing is an approach to convert an image into digital form and implement some operations on it, in order to get an intensify image or to extract some useful information from it. The multimedia conference covers the areas like still-image coding, Stereoscopic and 3-D coding, 3d Imaging, Image segmentation, Medical Imaging, Image scanning, display, printing novel topics.

Computer vision, Pattern recognition, and the multimedia area have growth briskly during the past decade since there is an expanding need for semantically understanding the content of image and video data from the predominant images and videos sharing associations such as Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, etc. However, the conduct of vision and multimedia understanding system is heavily vulnerable to the choice of data representation. The output of computer vision is a depiction or an interpretation or some quantitative assessment of the structures in the 3D scene, video coding and streaming in support of vision applications, vision-directed compression.   

Modeling is the representation of an object or phenomena, which is used by simulation. Models may be mathematical, physical, or logical representations of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process. Models are, in turn, used by simulation to predict a future state. It is a discipline for developing a level of understanding of the interaction of the parts of a system, and of the system as a whole.

Rendering refers to the process of building output files from computer animations. When an animation renders, the animation program takes the various components, variables, and actions in an animated scene and builds the final viewable result. Render can be an individual image or a series of images saved individually or sequenced into video format.

Simulations are abstractions of reality. It is defined as the process of creating a model of an existing or proposed system in order to identify and understand those factors which control the system to predict the future behavior of the system. Simulation is a powerful and important tool because it provides a way in which alternative designs, plans, and policies can be evaluated without having to experiment on a real system, which may be prohibitively costly, time-consuming, or simply impractical to do.

Animation, itself is an industry spreading various options to develop and explore different factors of everyday life. The countries holding the ball in the animation market are Korea, France, Japan, Britain, China, Germany, Canada, etc. The demand for animation has made a commendable increase in targeted broadcasting hours by cable and satellite TV. Alongside the demand for the animation to a powerfully immersive experience like VR and AR is increasing exponentially. 

Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video, and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia communication represents information in a compelling, creative way that helps many different types of learners incorporate the data. Infographics are the best example of multimedia communication. Large images are set up like posters and have text, graphs, charts statistics and images that present information. Visual learners who use these graphs, charts, and images are capable to get just as much from the info graph as learners who target on numbers who, for instance, hone in on the statistics. Multimedia Communication & Networking focuses on Real-time protocols, Resource-adaptive systems, Wireless multimedia, Multimedia streaming, Cloud-based multimedia, and advanced topics.

Multimedia plays a vital role in the smarter cities eco-system due to the huge presence of multimodal sensors and smart objects in the environment, increased multimedia collaboration among different organizations, and real-time media sharing between socially-connected people. Consequently, high volume of sensorial media, social media, M2M data, IoT data, open data, and mobile phone data become available in smarter cities, which need effective processing, analysis, and sharing in order to make them useful by the citizens, city government, and businesses. The capture, process, and analysis of such media data require a rich pool of on-demand resources, massive computation capability, and scalable infrastructure that is hardly supported by traditional multimedia computing facilities. Cloud computing Events Conferences fits well as an enabling technology in this scenario as it provides a flexible stack of computing, storage, and software services at low cost. As a result, we are witnessing a paradigm shift toward multimedia cloud computing (MCC), where the computationally-intensive components of multimedia systems, services, and applications are moving onto the cloud, and the end user’s mobile device is being used as an interface for accessing those services.

Versatile Multimedia has turned into a necessary piece of our lives. An unlimited assortment of mixed media administrations like voice, email, texting, interpersonal organizations, portable installment and exchanges, versatile video conferencing, or video and sound gushing has effectively molded the desires towards current cell phones, base, and administrations. Inside the most recent five years, portable mixed media has turned into the acknowledged standard, driven by improvements in end-client gadgets, radio systems, and backend administrations. In any case, numerous open research questions stay, from constrained battery life to heterogeneous information sorts, increments in nature of administration, setting mindful adjustment to the earth, or the ever-introduce security and protection issues.

Multimedia is a special domain. In the past ten years, we've got witnessed revolutionary changes in both hardware and software. Today, computers, digital cameras, and even cell phones equipped with optical scanners will "see" and "hear" various styles of objects, pictures, and sound, and "display", "say" and "convey" info to individuals on a website and at remote locations via different multimedia devices.

Internet of Things (IoT) systems cannot successfully realize the notion of ubiquitous connectivity of everything if they are not capable to truly include ‘multimedia things’. However, the current research and development activities in the field do not mandate the features of multimedia objects, thus leaving a gap to benefit from multimedia content based services and applications. In this paper, we analyse this issue by contemplating the concept of IoT and drawing an inspiration towards the perspective vision of ‘Internet of Multimedia Things’ (IoMT). Therein, we introduce IoMT as a novel paradigm in which smart heterogeneous multimedia things can interact and cooperate with one another and with other things connected to the Internet to facilitate multimedia-based services and applications that are globally available to the users. Some applications and use-cases for IoMT are presented to reflect the possibilities enabled by this new paradigm. An IoMT architecture is then presented which is segregated into four distinct stages; (i) multimedia sensing, (ii) reporting and addressability, (iii) multimedia-aware cloud, and (iv) multi-agent systems. Instead of proposing specific technical solutions for each individual stage of the presented architecture, we survey the already existing technologies, providing a synthesis for the realization of the vision of IoMT. Subsequently, various requirements and challenges, as well as the feasibility of existing solutions for each stage of proposed IoMT architecture, are comprehensively discussed.

Multimedia Systems and Services talks about the essential qualities of mixed media archive taking care of, programming, security, human PC interfaces, and mixed media application administrations. The general objective of the track is to give a wide comprehension of media frameworks and applications in a coordinated way. A client appreciates a sight and sound application just if all bits of the end-to-end arrangement fit together. This implies an interactive media application and its UI must be created in a coordinated manner with basic sight and sound middleware, working frameworks, systems, security, and mixed media gadgets.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the capacity of a computer program to comprehend human discourse as it is talked. NLP is a part of manmade brainpower. The advancement of NLP applications is testing since PCs customarily expect people to "talk" to them in a programming dialect that is exact, unambiguous and very organized or, maybe through a predetermined number of obviously articulated voice orders. Human discourse, in any case, is not generally exact - it is regularly equivocal and the etymological structure can rely upon numerous intricate factors, including slang, territorial tongues, and social setting.

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a data preparing worldview that is propelled by the way organic sensory systems, for example, the mind, process data. The key component of this worldview is the novel structure of the data handling framework. It is made out of an expansive number of very interconnected preparing components (neurons) working as one to take care of particular issues. ANNs, similar to individuals, learn by illustration. An Artificial Neural Network is designed for a particular application, for example, design acknowledgment or information arrangement, through a learning procedure. Learning inorganic frameworks includes changes in accordance with the synaptic associations that exist between the neurons. 

Recent years have supported the revolutionary development brought by multimedia & AI technologies. These changes can advance many practices and industries, and health is no exception. The miraculous changes in healthcare also brought many research opportunities in an immense spectrum of application domains, such as eHealth, health data quality assessment, personalized health with sensor data, cross-source learning for better lifestyles and health information visualization.
