4th Intl. Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval
December 6, Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera
in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2002
CALL FOR PAPERS
With all content going digital, new areas such as interactive training, simulation, e-business, and cultural heritage applications require management of large amounts of data, most of which are non-traditional (text/numeric) types of data. Such applications require integrated tools for modeling, understanding, visualizing, retrieving, and accessing the data. This leads to the development of novel techniques for managing multimedia content. This year we have included topics that focus on semantic retrieval of multimedia content through the addition of new topics such as semantic web and computational media aesthetics.
Topics of interest to MIR 2002 include, but are not limited to:
Multimedia
data modeling
Multimedia indexing
Multimedia visualization
Metadata for multimedia retrieval
Query languages for multimedia retrieval
Query processing for multimedia retrieval
Multimedia and media mining
Feature and structure extraction for multimedia retrieval
Tools and standards
User perspective and user modeling for multimedia retrieval
New media types and new applications
Intelligent agents for multimedia indexing and retrieval
Infrastructure for multimedia retrieval
Semantic content analysis for multimedia retrieval
Multi-modal multimedia retrieval
Intelligent multimedia production
Retrieval of multimedia semantics
Multimedia retrieval for pervasive devices
Semantic web
Computational media aesthetics
The special
session on Multimedia content-based retrieval for cultural heritage applications
will gather recognized experts in image and video databases as well as
experts from the field. Addressed subjects will cover, among the others:
user requirement modeling; construction of cultural heritage object databases,
2D information modeling; relevance of 3D content-based retrieval. The
session chair will provide an overview of the state of the art and focus
on perspective issues and challenges. Each of the experts will present
research activities presently carried out at his/her site. Submission
to this session will be on invitation only.
Paper Submission
For the general topics of MIR 2002, the program committee solicits condensed research papers describing new results or original ideas related to the workshop topics. Papers should be in English and should not exceed 10 double spaced pages. The cover page should include the title, name and affiliation of the author(s), contact, address, email, fax and telephone numbers.
