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.
