Multimedia Tools and Applications Journal
Special Issue on Multimedia Authoring and Annotation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the massive amount of captured multimedia, authoring is more
relevant than ever. Multimedia content is available in many settings
which include the web, mobile devices, desktop applications, as well
as games and interactive TV. The authoring and production of
multimedia documents demands attention to many issues relative to the
structure and to the synchronization of the media components, to the
specification of the document and of the interaction, to the roles of
authors and end users, as well as issues concerning reuse and digital
rights management. Several complementary approaches to support the
authoring of multimedia documents have been reported in the
literature, and in many cases they have been experimented by means of
authoring tools and applications. One aim of this special issue is to
assess current approaches, tools and applications, discussing how they
tackle the main issues relative to the process of authoring, as well
as their limitations. Another aim is t!
 o outline design issues for future tools and applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* End-user authoring
* Collaborative authoring
* Annotation as authoring
* Microbloging and authoring
* Authoring by interacting in ubiquitous computing environments
* Authoring by interacting with ubiquitous devices
* Context-aware authoring
* Authoring paradigms
* Metadata authoring
* Personalization as authoring
* Authoring for mobile devices
* Authoring for the Web
* Open-ended, incremental and decentralized authoring
* Reliability, performance, scalability, maintainability and
compatibility of multimedia authoring tools
* Evaluation of authoring tools
