GENERAL INFORMATION DFMA is a new international conference born from the collaboration between Network Research Group from University Sains Malaysia and the «Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'Université de Franche-Comté», France. DFMA is technically co-sponsored by IEEE France (pending approval). DFMA will be organized alternatively one year out two in Besançon (France) and one year out of two in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). The series of annual Franco - Malaysia Conference on Multimedia will be initiated in 2005 by the University Franche-Comté, and the University of Science Malaysia (USM) to provide a forum for researchers in computer science from both countries and to promote interaction with researchers from other regions as well. The first conference will be held in Besançon, France, in February 2005 and the second one in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during autumn 2006. In order to encourage closer interaction between academic and industrial networking research communities, we solicit both academic research papers and industrial contributions. The aim of this conference is to group manufacturers and researchers. After Besançon was awarded first prize in the selection of France's most "green" urban centre, visitors flocked in from everywhere, curious to what the new celebrity had to offer. this pretty city is built right up against the Jura. This mountain chain stretches over France and Switzerland, close to ski areas.
