MMSP-08 Call for Papers (please look at the New part
of Introduction to Keynote Speakers!!!!)
MMSP-08 is the tenth international workshop on
multimedia signal processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia
Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. A
new theme of this workshop is Bio-Inspired Multimedia Signal Processing in Life
Science Research. The main goal of MMSP-2008 is to further the scientific
research within the broad field of multimedia signal processing and its
interaction with other new emerging areas such as life science. The workshop
will focus on major trends and challenges in this area, including brainstorming
a roadmap for the success of future research and application. MMSP-08 workshop
consists of interesting features:
* A Student Paper Contest with awards sponsored by
Canon. To enter the contest a paper submission must have a student as the first
author
* A Best Paper from oral presentation session with
awards sponsored by Microsoft.
* A Best Poster presentation with awards sponsored
by National ICT Australia (NICTA).
* New session for Bio-Inspired Multimedia Signal
Processing
SCOPE
Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the
following general areas:
> Bio-inspired multimedia signal processing
* Multimedia
processing techniques inspired by the study of signals/images derived from
medical, biomedical and other life science disciplines with applications to
multimedia signal processing.
* Fusion mechanism of
multimodal signals in human information processing system and applications to
multimodal multimedia data fusion/integration.
* Comparison between
bio-inspired methods and conventional methods.
* Hybrid multimedia
processing technology and systems incorporating bio-inspired and conventional
methods.
> Joint audio/visual processing, pattern
recognition, sensor fusion, medical imaging, 2-D and 3-D graphics/geometry
coding and animation, pre/post-processing of digital video, joint
source/channel coding, data streaming, speech/audio, image/video coding and
processing
> Multimedia databases (content analysis,
representation, indexing, recognition and retrieval)
> Human-machine interfaces and interaction using
multiple modalities
> Multimedia security (data hiding,
authentication, and access control)
> Multimedia networking (priority-based QoS
control and scheduling, traffic engineering, soft IP multicast support, home
networking technologies, position aware computing, wireless communications).
> Multimedia Systems Design, Implementation and
Application (design, distributed multimedia systems, real time and
non-real-time systems; implementation; multimedia hardware and software)
> Standards
