The WCECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. Our last IAENG conference has attracted more than one thousand participants from over 50 countries, and our IAENG conference committees have been formed with over two hundred committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from universities like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley and Yale etc. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-98671-0-2). The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books. Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may also be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and Springer, and between IAENG and America Institute of Physics. For reference, the following post conference edited books of our recent IAENG 2007 conferences: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, and Advances in Computational Algorithms and Data Analysis, have been published by Springer. The topics of the ICIMT'08 include, but not limited to, the following: Internet Systems and Tools: Internet Architectures Web and Internet Tools Web Design Web methodologies Internet based knowledge engineering Distributed computing environments Architectures for internet and intranets Java, Corba, XML Security Aspects Privacy Cryptology Mobile Internet Internet Search Technologies Optimization Techniques Protection and Security Privacy Fault Tolerance Internet Computing Parallel and Distributed Processing Java based Applications for Web Software Agents Expert Systems Knowledge-based Systems Computer Vision Multimedia Information Systems: Multimedia Tools and Architectures Multimedia Broadcasting Systems on the Web Operating System Support for Multimedia Multimedia Communication Systems Multimedia Networking Distributed Multimedia Systems Content-based Multimedia Retrieval Multimedia Performance and Management Mobile Multimedia Video-on-Demand Digital Video Broadcasting IP based Networks ATM Networks Transport Protocols Routing Protocols Quality of Service Scheduling Resource Management Networked Multiplayer Games Multimedia Technologies and Games Game Architecture and Development Graphics and Virtual Worlds Internet-based Multiplayer Games Sound technologies Image technologies Virtual reality Virtual factory Computer vision Mobile communications Image and scene analysis Coding Multidimensional systems Monitoring Supervision Software and Data Management: Simulation Tools Software maintenance Software metrics Reusability Reliability Intelligent agents Database Management Systems Databases and the Web Intelligent Databases Multimedia Databases Data mining Object-oriented methodologies Data warehousing Digital Libraries Data Modelling Database Ontology Coding and Compression Digital Watermarking Video Storage Servers Information Retrieval Collaborative Systems: Educational Multimedia Distributed Learning Collaborative Learning Collaborative Systems and Applications Virtual Reality Video Conferencing Computer Animation Human-Computer Interfaces Modelling and Simulation Applications: Electronic Commerce Mobile Commerce Internet Banking Business Medicine Engineering Education Entertainment Others ICIMT Conference Committee: Prof. Shu-Ching Chen Associate Professor and Director, Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory; Associate Director, The Center for Advanced Distributed System Engineering, School of Computing and Information Sciences, Florida International University, USA Prof. Xu Du Associate professor in Electronics and Information Engineering Department, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China Prof. Irene Yu-Hua Gu Professor, Signal Processing Group, Department of Signals and Systems, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden; Former Associate Editor, IEEE transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics; Chair-Elect, Jan. 2002 - Dec. 2004, IEEE Swedish Signal Processing Chapter, Sweden Prof. Huiping Guo Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, California State University at Los Angeles, USA Prof. Jiun-Long Huang Assistant proferssor, Computer Science Department, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Prof. Ching-Cheng Lee (co-chair) Professor and Dean of Information Technology, Olivet University, USA ; Adjunct Professor in computer science at California State University at East Bay Prof. Layuan Li Professor, Department of Computer Science and Technology, Wuhan University of Technology, China; Editor in Chief of the Journal of Wuhan University of Technology Prof. Ming Li Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, California State University, Fresno, USA Prof. George Meghabghab Professor of Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, Roane State, Oak Ridge, TN 37830, USA Prof. Xiaojun Qi Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department, Utah State University, USA Prof. Robbie De Sutter Professor of Electronics/ICT - Multimedia and Information Technology, University College West Flanders - Association Ghent University, Belgium Dr. Gang Wu Research Software Engineer, Microsoft, Redmond, USA Prof. Zhongfei Mark Zhang Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, Watson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Binghamton University, USA WCECS Congress Co-chairs Prof. Craig Douglas (WCECS Keynote Speaker & Co-chair) Professor of Computer Science & Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Kentucky Senior Research Scientist (corresponding to nonteaching full professor) Computer Science Department, Yale University, USA Prof. Warren S.
