Advanced Theories and Applications of Multimedia Information Technology (Cooperation with MITA 2026)

Dear Colleagues,

Multimedia-based information systems are an essential part of the various human-centric interaction services. Multimedia data is a super unit of data in which various individual data are synchronized, and can provide richer information like user-friendly information. Recently, the development of artificial intelligence has reached the level of providing necessary information or services by judging human feelings or emotions in multimedia. Although the application of artificial intelligence, such as deep learning, is becoming common in research on individual media signals such as video, audio, and text, an independent intelligence in a simple combination of these individual media signals has limitations in generating sufficient information and service technologies.

MITA 2026 is an important international academic conference organized by the Korea Multimedia Society (KMMS) on the theme of multimedia information systems. With this international conference, we will provide an academic discussion space to fuse multimedia data and artificial intelligence technology, exchange research results to use in industrial IoT and media services, and share the latest algorithms and development results for new artificial intelligence convergence technologies.

In this Special Issue, various AI convergence studies based on multimedia information processing algorithms and technologies, trends, and directions of the latest technologies will be presented. Also, research results and information will be provided to researchers working in the field of multimedia convergence technology.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
