General Information

The ongoing expansion of the information highway and the associated increase in multimedia content in databases, broadcasts, streaming media etc. has generated new requirements for more effective access to these giant global information repositories. Content extraction, indexing, and retrieval of multimedia data continues to be one of the most challenging and fastest-growing research areas.

Following the success of the four previous MIR workshops held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia Conferences, the purpose of the 5th ACM SIGMM International Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval (MIR 2003) is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry. We are soliciting original papers that address a range of issues in multimedia information retrieval including, but not limited to:

Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia data
Multimedia data modeling and visualization
Automated semantic annotation
Metadata for multimedia retrieval
Multi-modal human-computer interaction
Query languages and query processing for multimedia retrieval
Multimedia and media mining
User perspectives and user modeling for multimedia retrieval
Semantic content analysis
Intelligent agents for multimedia indexing and retrieval
Tools, benchmarks, and standards
Multimedia retrieval for pervasive devices
New media types and new applications
Multi-modal event detection and recognition
Multi-modal/Multi-sensor fusion techniques
