[AISWorld] Call for Papers MMAP 2012

[Adriana Schiopoiu Burlea]

International Symposium on Multimedia Applications and
Processing (MMAP'2012)
Wrocław, Poland, September 9-12, 2012
Organized by
Software Engineering Department, Faculty of Automation, Computers and
Electronics, University of Craiova , Romania
"Multimedia Applications Development" Research Centre
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.
