*About the Conference:*

The multimedia landscape reflects a dynamic and ever-expanding ecosystem.
Video content continued to dominate the digital realm, constituting more
than 80% of global internet traffic, with YouTube standing out as a
platform where users collectively upload a staggering 500 hours of video
every minute. Social media platforms, including Instagram and Snapchat,
showcased the power of visual communication, with users sharing over 100
million photos and 3 billion snaps daily. While specific numbers regarding
virtual and augmented reality were not available, the increasing interest
and investment in these technologies indicated a rising trend towards
immersive multimedia experiences. Streaming services like Netflix played a
pivotal role in shaping internet traffic patterns, contributing
significantly to the multimedia data surge. The mobile landscape witnessed
a substantial increase in data consumption, driven by users' growing
penchant for multimedia content on smartphones. The total global storage
for multimedia data reached the zettabyte scale, fuelled largely by the
proliferation of cloud storage services. Digital photography, with billions
of daily uploads, continued to be a cornerstone of online expression.
User-generated content platforms and podcasts experienced exponential
growth, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of multimedia content creation. As a
collective force, multimedia traffic, encompassing activities like video
streaming and online gaming, emerged as a key driver shaping the landscape
of global internet usage. The International Conference on Multimedia
Computing, Networking and Applications (MCNA) is a premier forum for
researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the latest
advancements, challenges, and future directions in the field of multimedia
computing, networking, and applications. MCNA aims to bring together
experts from academia and industry to foster collaboration, share insights,
and promote innovative research in multimedia technologies.
