Deadline for Submission: 1st June 2012

(supported by TELKOMNIKA Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering)

The Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia (GMM), Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in collaboration with School of Professional & Continuing Education (UTMSPACE) are pleased to announce the International Conference on Interactive Digital Media (ICIDM 2012) to be held on December 3-4, 2012 at the Bayview Hotel, Langkawi, Malaysia. ICIDM is the first international conference to be fully organized by GMM. It was started by International workshop on interactive digital media 2008 held at Johor Bahru.

Selected accepted full papers will be published in a special issue of Journal such as International Journal TELKOMNIKA indexed by Elsevier, Journal Teknologi UTM indexed by SCOPUS and Journal of Digital Media.

All Accepted paper will be included in ICIDM 2012 proceeding, printed out and distributed during the conference day.
