The series of annual Franco – Malaysia Conference on Multimedia namely
DFMA (Distributed Frame for Multimedia Applications) has already 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. 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 Computer
Society Malaysia Chapter (pending approval).  The first conference was
held in Besançon, France, in February 2005 and the second one will be held
in Penang, Malaysia on 14th to 17th May, 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 cluster manufacturers and
researchers.
