Deadline Extension: I-Media Special Session on Multimedia Metadata

The paper submission deadline has been extended to April 28, 2008.

Original CfP: 

Studies show that sales of digital capture devices like video camera, digital photo cameras, or mobile phones with digital cameras are still rising. Therefore it can be expected that the number of created digital multimedia content will rise dramatically in future. Multimedia metadata is currently the only way to cope with problems like semantics based retrieval or organization of content and provides means to specify adaptation and delivery constraints and rules. Within this special session the importance of metadata for media technologies is discussed. We encourage the submission of high quality scientific work as well as application papers. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Multimedia technologies and metadata in the social web
• Multimedia semantics
• Annotation of multimedia content
• Metadata in pervasive multimedia computing
• Metadata for new media
• Studies and surveys in context of multimedia metadata and new media

We encourage the submission of high quality scientific work as well as application papers.

Call for Papers “Knowledge Acquisition from the Social Web” KASW’08

I wanted to write it myself, but Markus did such a good job …

The focus of this workshop is on techniques and algorithms to acquire knowledge of different forms (e.g. commonsense knowledge, knowledge about user intentions, knowledge about social processes) from social web corpora, such as weblogs, wikis and others. The goal is to attract high quality submissions and to gather a strong community of researchers with different backgrounds that share a common interest in knowledge acquisition from the social web. The Call for Papers is out now - the Submission Deadline is April 28 2008.

“Knowledge Acquisition from the Social Web” KASW’08

held in conjunction with the Triple-I Conference

CfP: TRIPLE-I Conference

From the web page: The TRIPLE-I Conference series is a joint venture of the conferences I-KNOW, I-MEDIA and I-SEMANTICS. TRIPLE-I reflects the increasing importance and convergence of knowledge management, new media technologies and semantic systems. This unique concept aims at bridging the gaps between the various communities and their technology fields.

Last years  TRIPLE-I  was a great success, so I’m looking forward to this event. It’s scheduled 3-5 September in Graz. Austria. Full paper submission deadline is April, 14th.

CfP: Sixth International Conference on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI’08)

The CBMI’08 takes place on 18-20th June, 2008, London, UK. Submission deadline is 5th of February. Conference homepage can be found at http://cbmi08.qmul.net/.

From the CfP: CBMI is the main international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest technological advances, industrial needs and product developments in multimedia indexing, search, retrieval, navigation and browsing. Following the five successful previous events (Toulouse 1999, Brescia 2001, Rennes 2003, Riga 2005, and Bordeaux 2007), CBMI’08 will be hosted by Queen Mary, University of London in the vibrant city of London. The focus of CBMI’08 is the integration of what could be regarded as unrelated disciplines including image processing, information retrieval, human computer interaction and semantic web technology with industrial trends and commercial product development. The technical program of CBMI’08 will include presentation of invited plenary talks, special sessions as well as regular sessions with contributed research papers.

M3R 08: Deadline Extension

The deadline for submissions to the WIAMIS has been extended to 21.12.2007. Therefore also the deadline for the the 8th workshop of the multimedia metadata community (http://www.multimedia-metadata.info) M3R 08 has been extended.

Hubert J. Farnsworth would put it this way: “Good news, everyone!”

CfP: Special Issue on Communities and Media Computing

With the emergence of large scale social network communities such as flickr, myspace and youtube, we are witnessing media use and production on an unprecedented scale. The purpose of this special issue is to address the technical challenges that emerge through the use of media in large user communities. Communities who use media as part of a network can impact content analysis (e.g. detection of emergent semantics), multimedia systems (e.g. network optimization due to knowledge of relationships among people) and application research (e.g. novel group authoring). Ubiquitous use of multimedia can also impact the way communities form. We believe that a systematic analysis of community-generated media will reveal new insights about how people interact – social dynamics, the evolution of topics and trends, groups and communities. We believe that the research can reveal new synergies between multimedia content, systems and application research areas and computational social analysis. The focus of this special issue shall be novel computational aspects of shared media among multiple people
