　　In the great digital era, we are witnessing many rapid scientific and technological developments in human-centered, seamless computing environments, interfaces, devices, and systems with applications ranging from business and communication to entertainment and learning. These developments are collectively best characterized as Active Media Technology (AMT), a new area of information technology and computer science that emphasizes the proactive, seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new media in all aspects of digital life.

　　The first International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT01) was held in Hong Kong in 2001. In AMT-01, 8 renown scholars in the fields, Prof. James L. Crowley, INRIA Rhone-Alpesn from France, Prof. John Daugman from Cambridge University in UK, Prof. Toshio Fukuda from Nagoya University in Japan, Prof. Toru Ishidsa from Kyoto University in Japan, Prof. Takeo Kanade fron the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University in USA, Prof. Oussama Khatib from Stanford University in USA, Prof. Bruno Torresani from INRIA in France and Prof. Victor Wickerhauser from Washington University in USA., were invited to give talks. In addition, 93 researchers from 20 countries and regions benefited from AMT-01.

　　Following the success of AMT01, The Second International Conference on Active Media Technology (ICAMT2003) will be held in Chongqing of P.R.China in 2003. The upcoming ICAMT2003 is aimed to provide an international forum for researchers, from around the world, to exchange their latest research results and to showcase the state of research and development in AMT as well as the latest architectures, prototypes, tools, and fielded systems that demonstrate and enable AMT.

　　The General Chair of this conference is Professor Ning Zhong from Maebashi Institute of Technology of Japan. The Program Chair is Dr. Jiming Liu from Hong Kong Baptist University.
