FOR PAPERS -MMAP 2014
International
Symposium on Multimedia – Applications and Processing, MMAP
2014,
Organized by:
Software Engineering
Department, Faculty of Automation, Computers and
Electronics, University of Craiova, Romania
"Multimedia Applications Development" Research Centre
within the framework
FEDERATED COMPUTER
SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE
held in Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014
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 2014 (MMAP 2014) 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 sub-fields 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 middle-ware - 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 2014 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 2014 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 2014 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.

papers (as Postscript, PDF, MSWord file).
The total length of a
paper must not exceed 8-10 pages IEEE style (including
tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates are
available on site.
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.
