imedia 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.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"><b>Call for Papers:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">We invite submissions of high-quality research papers addressing original and unpublished work on various aspects of multimedia computing, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 01: Multimedia Systems and Architectures</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 02: Image and Video Processing</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 03: Virtual and Augmented Reality</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 04: Multimedia Communication and Networking</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 05: Multimedia Security and Privacy</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 06: Machine Learning for Multimedia</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 07: Human-Computer Interaction</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 08: Multimedia Applications in Healthcare, Education, and Entertainment</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Track 09: Multimedia Big Data Analytics</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:medium;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;background-image
