Scope

Recently, the number of user generated contents (UGC) in social media has been rapidly increasing. Ordinary
people have now become producers of digital contents as well as consumers so called 'prosumers', being
capable of publishing their own contents on the social media such as Flickr, MySpace, FaceBook and Youtube.
Hence, generating contents in social media is very important and also different from traditional methods as it
works under collaborative environments. Current technology for processing the content in social media is in
premature stage and requires more theoretical contributions, empirical studies reports and innovative concepts
that can provide efficient and effective ways of content processing in social media.

This special session on Social Media to be held in Santorini during the 2009 16th International Conference on
Digital Signal Processing (July 5 – July 7, 2009), is a dedicated session that aims to foster closer interactions
among researchers and users communities, providing an excellent opportunity for them to meet and discuss
their ideas about digital contents processing in Social Media. Research topics are solicited in the broad areas
of Social Media, but are not limited to:

Automatic UGC tagging
Semantic user generated content retrieval
UGC search and retrieval using intelligent query schemes
Content browsing, indexing and retrieval in social media and smart user interface
User generated contents models for temporal context, spatial context, and social context
Digital contents analysis employing social interaction and community behavior models
Digital contents analysis with contextual information
Context modeling in social media
segmentation and classification in social media
Tag analysis in folksonomy
Advanced metrics for content searching
Content generation/processing/consumption in social media
Machine-learning techniques for tagging in social media
New research issues in contents processing in social media
Modeling of social media

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available for online
access via IEEE Xplore.
