FEDERATED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE held in Wrocław, Poland, September 9-12, 2012
* CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS
Multimedia information has become ubiquitous on the web, creating new challenges
for indexing, access, search and retrieval. Recent advances in pervasive computers, networks, telecommunications, and information technology, along with the proliferation of multimedia mobile devices - such as laptops, iPods, personal digital assistants (PDA), and
cellular telephones - have stimulated the development of intelligent
pervasive multimedia applications. These key technologies are creating a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across a wide
spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, educational and governmental domains. Yet many challenges remain, especially when it comes to efficiently indexing, mining, querying, searching, retrieving, displaying and interacting with multimedia data.
The Multimedia - Processing and Applications 2012 (MMAP 2012) Symposium addresses several themes related to theory and practice within multimedia domain. The enormous interest in multimedia from many activity areas (medicine, entertainment, education) led researchers and industry to make a continuous effort to create new, innovative multimedia algorithms and applications.
As a result the conference goal is to bring together researchers, engineers, developers and practitioners in order to communicate their newest and
original contributions. The key objective of the MMAP conference is to gather results from academia and industry partners working in all subfields of multimedia: content design, development, authoring and evaluation, systems/tools oriented research and development. We are also interested in looking at service architectures, protocols, and standards for multimedia communications - including middleware - along with the related security issues, such as secure multimedia information sharing. Finally, we encourage submissions describing work on novel applications that exploit the unique set of advantages offered by multimedia computing techniques, including home-networked entertainment and games. However, innovative contributions that don't exactly fit into these areas will also be
considered because they might be of benefit to conference attendees.
* CALL FOR PAPERS
MMAP 2012 is a major forum for
researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to
present, discuss, and
exchange ideas that address real-world problems with
real-world solutions.
The MMAP 2012 Symposium welcomes
submissions of
original papers concerning all aspects of multimedia domain
ranging from
concepts and theoretical developments to advanced
technologies and innovative
applications. MMAP 2012 invites original previously
unpublished contributions
that are not submitted concurrently to a journal or another
conference.
Papers acceptance
and publication will be judged based on their relevance to
the symposium theme,
clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results
and proposed
solutions.
