Call For Paper:
With the pervasive multimedia data (image, video, structured text, etc.) and the recent advances in networks and
information technology, multimedia pervasive computing is having an unprecedented impact on every aspect of our life,
from the personal use of multimedia mobile devices, such as iPod and PDA, to a wide spectrum of domains such as
business and healthcare. The new multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple
modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia
data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in an ever effective
way, bringing along the multimedia revolution. Traditional multimedia research, which largely lies in signal processing
and data communication, is now facing challenges posed by the new research trends such as multimedia semantic
computing, multi-modal interaction and cross-mining, cooperative processing, new multimedia standards, Quality of
Service (QoS), multimedia security, and social issues, which are just a few examples of the major research areas. The
aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in multimedia semantic computing to discuss the state of the art
of the research on semantic-based multimedia systems, present theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, and
identify challenges and open issues in multimedia semantic modeling and integration. Multimedia semantic computing can
be defined as "Computing with (machine processable) Descriptions of Content and Intentions" of multimedia data and has
been gaining attentions in various applications including pervasive multimedia computing systems, multimedia delivery
over the network, personalized multimedia information retrieval systems which adapt to the user's needs, integration of
semantic content and schema from distributed multimedia sources so that the user sees a unified view of heterogeneous
data, clustering and classification of semantically-tied information in different multimedia modalities, security
issues in multimedia/hypertext systems, etc. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit original research
contributions to this workshop.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
* semantic content analysis
* semantic integration
* multimedia retrieval (image, video, audio, etc.)
* multimodal data analysis and interaction
* semantic media annotation
* human-centered multimedia computing
* image/video/audio databases
* multimedia data mining
* multimedia data storage
* social network analysis from multimedia
* multimedia data modeling
* distributed multimedia systems
* multimedia data visualization
* semantic media adaptation and personalization
* semantic based Internet data streaming and delivery
* Multimedia streaming and networking
* multimedia assurance and security
* semantic enabled multimedia applications
* novel applications
Instructions for authors:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the above and related topics are solicited. Authors
should submit a 6-page technical paper manuscript (in English) in double-column IEEE format including authors' names
and affiliations, and a short abstract, following the document templates available on the MUE2011 paper submission web
site http://www.editorialsystem.net/pcms2011. Manuscripts should be submitted online to
http://www.editorialsystem.net/pcms2011 on or before the deadline date of January 31st, 2011. All papers should be in
Adobe portable document format (PDF). Submissions should include the name and the email address of the corresponding
author.
All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program Committee. The
acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on the review results. Accepted papers will be published in the
workshop proceedings together with the proceedings of IEEE/FTRA International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous
Engineering (MUE 2011) and will be included in IEEE Explorer.
Based on the quality of the manuscripts, selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of International
Journal of Multimedia Data Engineering and Management (IJMDEM).
