 KES-IIMSS-08 is an international scientific symposium for research
in the fields of intelligent interactive multimedia systems and
services. The aim of the symposium is to provide an internationally
respected forum for scientific research in the technologies and
applications of intelligent interactive multimedia systems and
services.

At a time when computers are more widespread than ever and computer
users range from highly qualified scientists to non computer expert
professionals, Intelligent Interactive Systems are becoming a
necessity in modern computer systems. The solution of "one-fits-all"
is no longer applicable to wide ranges of users of various backgrounds
and needs. Therefore one important goal of many intelligent
interactive systems is dynamic personalization and adaptivity to
users. Intelligent recommender systems, intelligent narrative
environments, intelligent tutoring systems, intelligent web-stores,
intelligent interactive TV, intelligent mobile services constitute a
set of typical examples of intelligent interactive systems which is
not limited to these examples. Moreover, interactivity is no longer
limited to the classical modes of interaction and is extended to
include multimedia systems and services, since many modes of
interaction render computer systems more attractive, user friendlier,
more human-like and informative. Multimedia Systems refer to the
coordinated storage, processing, transmission and retrieval of
multiple forms of information, such as audio, image, video, animation,
graphics, and text. Multimedia Services based on multimedia systems
have made significant progress in recent times, as they arise in
various areas including, but not limited to, advertisements, art,
business, education, entertainment, engineering, medicine,
mathematics, scientific research and spatio-temporal applications. The
growth rate of multimedia services has become explosive, as
technological progress matches consumer needs for content.

This symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers
to discuss modern approaches and techniques for intelligent
interactive multimedia systems and services. KES-IIMSS-08 is organized
by KES International and the University of Piraeus, Greece, and will
take place in Athens, Greece. Greece offers top quality tourist
attractions to over 20 million international visitors every year.
Athens, the capital and main point of entry to Greece, is home to ten
major Universities which educate a total population of over 70,000
students.

**Call for Papers**

Papers are invited from prospective authors with interests on the
indicated symposium topics and related areas of application. All
contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or
intended to be published during the review period. Contributions from
more applied related fields in industry and commerce are very welcome.

All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must
register for the conference and pay the fee. To ensure high quality,
all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the KES-IIMSS-08
International Programme Committee. The symposium proceedings are
planned to be published by Springer-Verlag in LNCS/LNAI series.
Submitted papers should be prepared in LNCS/LNAI style and should not
exceed 10 pages. 

Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for
publication in special issues to be included in several journals
indexed by ISI, KES Journal and Int. Journal of Intelligent
Information and Data-base Systems. Ph.D. students are invited to
submit papers to Doctoral Track. Proposals for special sessions are
also welcome.
