MMSP 2015 is the 17th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. This year’s event has a Heterogeneous Big Data Analytics in Multimedia theme. The workshop will bring together researchers and developers in multimedia signal processing and applications to share their latest achievements and explore future directions and synergies in these exciting areas.

Papers are solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics, covering this year’s theme and the general scope of multimedia signal processing:

- Theories and applications for heterogeneous big media data analytics
- Semantic extraction and knowledge mining from heterogeneous big media data
- Massive-scale media detection and recognition
- Content-based analysis, retrieval and annotation for big media data
- Feature learning for heterogeneous big media data representation
- Multimedia security, forensic, privacy for big data
- Multimedia quality assessment and enhancement
