   PURPOSE
   The International Conference on Internet and Multimedia Systems and
   Applications is a major contact venue for research scientists,
   engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present their
   latest research, ideas, developments, and applications in this field.
   IMSA 2003 will include keynote addresses, contributed papers, and
   tutorials on a wide range of topics. All papers submitted to this
   conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the
   International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based on quality,
   relevance, and originality. The full papers will be published in the
   conference proceedings.

   LOCATION
   IMSA 2003 will take place in the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu on
   the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Historically, Waikiki was the playground
   of the Hawaiian ali'i (nobility), and it has since become the most
   famous strip of beach in the world, ringed with high-rise hotels and
   accessible to middle-class travelers. Waikiki Beach is actually a
   string of beaches stretching two and half miles along the pacific
   ocean. The soft sand bottom and turquoise waters make it an attractive
   spot for swimmers, surfers, and other water enthusiasts. The city of
   Honolulu itself is the commercial and government center for Hawaii. It
   is filled with many fine restaurants, shopping centers, and cultural
   and historical attractions. Other nearby attractions include Pearl
   Harbor, Diamond Head Crater, and the Polynesian Cultural Center.
