-------------------------------------------------------------- Second Call for Papers for MIS 2005 International Workshop on Multimedia Information Systems --The Use of "Context" in Multimedia Information Systems-- -------------------------------------------------------------- September 19, 2005 - September 21, 2005 Sorrento, Italy http://aria.asu.edu/mis2005
The International Workshop on Multimedia Information Systems 2005 is the 11th of a series of workshops that started in 1995 with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary discussions and research in all aspects of multimedia information systems, in all their diversity. This year, the workshop will be held in Sorrento, one of the most beautiful gems of the South of Italy, perched on a dramatic line of steeply rising cliffs, overlooking the Bay of Naples.
MIS'05 will in particular concentrate on specific research issues related to the description and use of "context" in multimedia information systems. Selected papers will be chosen to be submitted, for further review, as full papers to a special issue on "the use of context in multimedia information systems" of the ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (ACM TOMCCAP) journal.
The areas of interest for MIS'05 include but are not limited to - Context, user, and task description, profiling, learning, and use for multimedia information management modeling, storage, indexing, querying, retrieval, mining, and visualization. - Multimedia sensing, networking, and streaming - Multimedia document management - Multimedia databases - Multimedia description languages and standards - Distributed multimedia systems - Interactive multimedia applications, such as distance learning, virtual meetings, cultural heritage management, and, e-commerce
Papers related to multimedia in context (as it relates to the gathering of media from a multitude of sensing devices, processing the media based on the context, the task, and the environment, and making the results available to the user in the most suitable form based on the capabilities and preferences of the user) are encouraged.
