                                 ICMCS 2005 
       International Conference on Multimedia Communications Systems
                              Montreal, Canada
                          Week of August 14, 2005

   Manifesto:

   The ICMCS 2005 is a special event on multimedia communications systems
   following the High Speed Networks and Multimedia Communications (HSNMC
   2004). ICMCS is technically co-sponsored by IEEE and IEE. ICHSN 2005 is
   organized by academic, research, and industrial societies and will be held
   in Montreal, Canada, in the week of August 14, 2005. Montreal is the most
   European city in North America, where more than 100 foreign languages are
   currently  spoken,  French  and English being the two federal official
   languages.

   ICMCS 2005 builds on the successful series of HSNMC started, under the name
   of  International  Conference  on  ATM  (ICATM), in Colmar (1998), and
   subsequently held in Colmar (1999), Heidelberg (2000), Seoul (2001), Jeju
   (2002), Estoril (2003) and Toulouse (2204). While ICMCS conferences will
   focus on multimedia communications aspects, an extension on high speed
   networks frameworks, architectures, mechanisms and implementations will be
   hosted as a separate event [ICHSN], hold in conjunction, during the same
   period.
