International Symposium on Multimedia Applications and Processing, MMAP 2013 http://www.fedcsis.org/ Organized by: Software Engineering Department, Faculty of Automation, Computers and Electronics, University of Craiova, Romania "Multimedia Applications Development" Research Centre Contact:burdescu@software.ucv.ro mailto:burdescu@software.ucv.ro within the framework FEDERATED COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS?CONFERENCE held in Krakow, Poland, September 8-11, 2013 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 2013 (MMAP 2013) 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 2013 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 2013 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 2013 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. *TOPICS OF INTEREST* Topics of interest are related to Multimedia Processing and Applications including, but are not limited to the following?areas: Audio, Image and Video Processing Animation, Virtual Reality, 3D and Stereo Imaging Multimedia File Systems and Databases: Indexing, Recognition and Retrieval Machine Learning, Data Mining, Information Retrieval in Multimedia Applications Multimedia in Internet and Web Based Systems: E-Learning, E-Commerce and E-Society Applications Human Computer Interaction and Interfaces in Multimedia Applications Multimedia in Medical Applications Entertainment and games Security in Multimedia Applications: Authentication and Watermarking Distributed Multimedia Systems Network and Operating System Support for Multimedia Mobile Network Architecture Intelligent Multimedia Network Applications *PAPER SUBMISSION, PUBLICATION AND INDEXATION* Authors should submit full papers (as Postscript, PDF, MSWord, or ODF file). The total length of a paper must not exceed 8 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not under review in any other conference or journal (submissions that violate this?requirement will be regarded as self-plagiarism). Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS events. Only papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore? database and submitted for indexation. *Proceedings of the FedCSIS 2012 conference were indexed in the Thomson Reuters - Conference Proceedings Citation Index, where they will also be submitted in 2013.* Furthermore, FedCSIS proceedings will be submitted for indexation to: DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, Inspec, Scirus, and other repositories. Extended versions of selected papers presented?during the conference may be published as Special Issue(s) of journal(s)to be announced later. *IMPORTANT DATES* Paper submission: May 21, 2013 Author notification: June 17, 2013 Final submission and registration opening: July 8, 2013 Conference date: September 8-11, 2013 GENERAL MMAP 2012 CHAIR Dumitru Dan Burdescu, University of Craiova, Romania Steering Committee Ioannis Pitas, University of Thessaloniki, Greece Costin Badica, University of Craiova, Romania Borko Furht, Florida Atlantic University, USA Harald Kosch, University of Passau, Germany Vladimir Uskov, Bradley University, USA Thomas M.
