The purpose of SIGMAP 2016, the International Conference on Signal Processing and Multimedia Applications, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information systems and applications in the context of Signal Processing, including theory and practice in the field of telecommunications, image, video, audio, biometrics, etc., and Multimedia Applications related to representation, storage, authentication and communication of multimedia information. The signal processing field, when combined with multimedia information encompasses a large number of research topics and emerging applications.                                                            CONFERENCE AREASEach of these topic areas is expanded below but the sub-topics list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in one of the following main topic areas:1. MULTIMEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS 2. MULTIMEDIA SIGNAL PROCESSING 3. MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS 4. NEW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS IN MULTIMEDIA
