The Fourteenth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal Processing (IIH-MSP 2018), is technically co-sponsored by Research Institute of Electrical Communication, Tohoku University in Japan, Fujian University of Technology in China, and Taiwan Association for Web Intelligence Consortium.

Multimedia technologies facilitate the creation of global information infrastructure for acquiring, storing, communicating data with different forms. Proliferation of multimedia applications raises challenges such as multimedia security and privacy, big data in multimedia, and intelligence in multimedia processing. IIH-MSP is an annual event serving as an international forum for researchers and practitioners from information hiding and multimedia signal processing to exchange latest research outcomes. We invite submissions of original research papers for the conference tracks: (1) Information Hiding and Security, (2) Multimedia Signal Processing and Networking, and (3) Bio-inspired Multimedia Technologies and Systems.
