The Journal of Multimedia Processing and Technologies (JMPT) aims to provide a multi-disciplinary forum to present and discuss theory and research, development, architectures, networking, system support tools and applications as well as case studies of multimedia and hypermedia. It also features experimental and survey articles. It seeks to fill the gap that exists between several fields and communities such as image processing, video processing, audio analysis, information retrieval and understanding, data management and mining, security, and education.

The journal is intended for academic researchers, practitioners, industrial professionals, consultants, managers, students, educators, policy makers and engineers working in the field and/or are involved in multimedia system research, design and applications.

The Journal of Multimedia Processing and Technologies (JMPT) invites original, previously unpublished, research, survey and tutorial papers, experiments, plus case studies and short research notes, on both applied and theoretical aspects of multimedia and hypermedia.
