Embedded multimedia systems represent an important segment of today's electronic industry. While there has been a notable growth in the use and application of these systems, the design process has become a remarkably difficult problem due to the increasing design complexity and shortening time-to-market. Also, mixed hardware/software solutions are increasingly common in multimedia systems so the separation between the hardware engineers and software developers is simply disappearing. This workshop is meant to bring together people from different multimedia-related research communities who have worked separately yet not sufficiently interacted: software, architectures, circuits, real-time, DSP, compilers, multimedia applications, etc. After a very successful debut in 2003, we hope that this second edition will represent a real opportunity for specialists from academia and industry to contribute to defining the design methodologies of future multimedia systems.
