GENERAL INFORMATION
The series of annual Franco - Malaysia Conference on Multimedia namely
DFMA (Distributed Frame for Multimedia Applications) has already
initiated in 2005 by the University Franche-Comté, and the University of
Science Malaysia (USM)
to provide a forum for researchers in computer science from both
countries and to promote interaction with
researchers from other regions as well. DFMA is an international
conference born from the collaboration
between Network Research Group from University Sains Malaysia and the
Laboratoire d'Informatique,
University of Franche-Comté, France. DFMA is technically co-sponsored by
IEEE France Section.

closer interaction between academic and industrial networking research
communities, we solicit both academic
research papers and industrial contributions. The aim of this conference
is to cluster manufacturers and researchers.
