Call for Submissions


ACM International Workshop on Ambient Media Computing: Media Data
Integration (MDI 2009)


Beijing Hotel, Beijing, China

October 23, 2009

In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2009

______________________________________________________


In multimedia computing and management, ambient/ubiquitous/pervasive media
integration is attracting a lot of attention. In particular, we are seeing
large quantities of media data generated from various sources and presented
to users. New emerging applications, such as digital entertainment, gaming,
and e-learning, often require multimedia data objects that can be of
different modality yet semantically relevant to be integrated in order to
meet various requirements and achieve user objectives. While human brains
can "integrate" media data objects naturally by fusing and associating them
quickly, existing multimedia computing and processing techniques,
unfortunately, do not provide adequate support to facilitate ambient media
data integration automatically and semi-automatically. This workshop aims at
addressing the various issues and challenges in ambient media data
integration. The topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the
following:

  a.. Discovery of media data semantics
  b.. Media data mining
  c.. Multi-modal data search and query processing
  d.. Cross-media indexing and association
  e.. Media object identification and (semantic) equivalence
  f.. Context-aware media data delivery and presentation
  g.. Location-based multimedia services
  h.. Wearable and wireless media computing
  i.. Cross-network server and management systems
  j.. Media synchronization
  k.. Pervasive multimedia applications

 

Paper Submissions

Each paper for submission should be formatted using the ACM Proceedings
templates. It should be written in 9 points and must not be longer than 10
pages in length, including references and figures. Authors may submit their
papers in PDF format via the ACM Multimedia 2009 paper submission system.
Note that the review process is double-blind, i.e., all submissions must
contain no information identifying the authors or their organizations.

The Workshop Proceedings will be published by ACM.

For more information regarding the paper submission, please check the
workshop web site or send email to: mdi2009@cs.cityu.edu.hk
