*Call for Papers*
ACM IH&MMSec is the merged event of two prestigious workshops IH 
(International
Workshop on Information Hiding) and ACM MMSec (ACM Workshop on Multimedia
Security). Important theoretical and technical contributions on 
information hiding,
multimedia security and related topics have been published and presented 
at these
two historical workshops. According to statistics in 2013, mentioned in 
the Call for
Papers of the first edition of ACM IH&MMSec, papers accepted for 
publication at
these two workshops attracted over 9000 citations in total.
ACM IH&MMSec continues to be one of the premier conferences in the area of
multimedia security, and it attracts researchers from all over the 
world. The research
presented at this workshop captures the state-of-the-art of research 
conducted in
academic, industrial, and government institutions around the world. The 
papers cover
the theoretical aspects of the field as well as the industrial and 
commercial applications
of techniques and algorithms developed in this area. Researchers are 
hereby invited
to participate and submit the results of their cutting edge research for 
publication at
the next edition of this workshop.
