The Second International Conference “Multimedia, Scientific Information and Visualization for Information Systems and Metrics” is a scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of computer sciences, information systems, multimedia online and off-line, visualization and information scientific, software quality and metrics, for instance.

In this field the details of the informative systems, especially aimed at interactive multimedia, scientific visualization, content of scientific information, amongst so many other issues related to computer science engineering, software, systems, telecommunications, electronics, etc., are all studied in detail. In other words, these are the fundamental issues that we all will have to approach on a daily basis as future professionals of the informative systems, and as we enbark on a journey towards a new era: “the expansion of communicability”.

Many conferences are focussed on specific aspects of HCI, hypermedia, computer science, etc. and bring together leading experts in a particular field or sometimes on a specific technology. At such large conferences students are often marginalized or relegated to poster sessions. The workshops, symposia, etc., are not a big scale and aim to promote dialogue between established professors and graduate students working on new directions. Hence topics from the whole range of HCI, multimedia, software, etc. are welcomed. Last year’s workshops, symposia, etc., organized by ALAIPO and AInCI, for instance, included papers on the topics (see below the alphabetical order).

All contributions –papers, workshops, demos and doctoral consortium, should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance and impact. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal and factual sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects 2D, 3D, Computer Interfaces, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Communicablity, Emerging Interactive Technologies, ICT, Information Management, Metrics, Mobile Computing, Multimedia Systems, Quality Evaluation, Networking, Scientific Information and Informatics, Software Engineering, and other computational areas are solicited on, but not limited to (alphabetical order):
