The magazine contains technical information covering a broad range of issues in multimedia systems and applications. Articles discuss research as well as advanced practice in hardware/software and are expected to span the range from theory to working systems. Especially encouraged are papers discussing experiences with new or advanced systems and subsystems. To avoid unnecessary overlap with existing publications, acceptable papers must have a significant focus on aspects unique to multimedia systems and applications. These aspects are likely to be related to the special needs of multimedia information compared to other electronic data, for example, the size requirements of digital media and the importance of time in the representation of such media. The following list is not exhaustive, but is representative of the topics that are covered: Hardware and software for media compression, coding & processing; Media representations & standards for storage, editing, interchange, transmission & presentation; Hardware platforms supporting multimedia applications; Operating systems suitable for multimedia applications; Storage devices & technologies for multimedia information; Network technologies, protocols, architectures & delivery techniques intended for multimedia; Synchronization issues; Multimedia databases; Formalisms for multimedia information systems & applications; Programming paradigms & languages for multimedia; Multimedia user interfaces; Media creation integration editing & management; Creation & modification of multimedia applications.

该杂志包含涉及多媒体系统和应用领域广泛问题的技术信息。文章讨论硬件/软件的研究以及先进实践，内容涵盖从理论到工作系统的各个方面。特别鼓励讨论新系统或先进系统和子系统经验的论文。为了避免与现有出版物不必要的重叠，可接受的论文必须重点关注多媒体系统和应用独有的方面。这些方面可能与多媒体信息相对于其他电子数据的特殊需求有关，例如，数字媒体的大小要求以及时间在此类媒体表示中的重要性。以下列表并不详尽，但代表了所涵盖的主题：媒体压缩、编码和处理的硬件和软件；存储、编辑、交换、传输和演示的媒体表示和标准；支持多媒体应用的硬件平台；适用于多媒体应用的操作系统；多媒体信息的存储设备和技术；用于多媒体的网络技术、协议、架构和交付技术；同步问题；多媒体数据库；多媒体信息系统和应用的形式化；多媒体的编程范式和语言；多媒体用户界面；媒体创作集成编辑与管理；多媒体应用程序的创作与修改。
