Message from the Chairs

We would like to welcome you to the 13th IEEE Symposium on Embedded Systems for Real-Time Multimedia (ESTIMedia 2015). Multimedia plays an important role in our daily activities and has become one of the most relevant technological innovations. The evermore 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 layers of multimedia systems.
