Greetings from the general chairs

With the development of multimedia technology and network technology, multimedia services become more and more popular. In nowadays, multimedia information refers to not only text, image, video or audio but also graphics, flash, web, 3D data, etc. Multimedia information is networked in various modes, e.g., fixed network, wireless network, mobile network, etc. Multimedia information may be generated, processed, transmitted, retrievaled, consumed or shared in various environments. Additionally, security becomes an important issue for information networking. During the past decades, many works have been done in multimedia information networking and security. The 2010 International Conference on Multimedia Information Networking and Security (MINES2010) will provide a high level international platform for worldwide researchers and engineers to exchange the latest research results in the emergent field of multimedia information services, with the focuses on multimedia, networking, services and security. We believe this great event will greatly enlighten the academia as well as the industry, accompanied with many new ideas and creative resolutions to multimedia information networking and related security topics.
