Call for Papers

Huge amounts of multimedia data are increasingly available and the knowledge of spatial and/or temporal phenomena becomes critical for many applications, which requires techniques for the processing, analysis, search, mining, and management of multimedia data. The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Information Processing and Retrieval (IEEE-MIPR 2008) will take place in Berkeley, California, USA on December 15-17, 2008, in conjunction with IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2008). The workshop will provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation, and applications of multimedia information processing and retrieval. The target audiences will be university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, software engineers and graduate students who need to become acquainted with new theories and technologies in multimedia information processing and retrieval.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
 
  • content-based retrieval (image, video, audio, etc.)
  • multimodal data analysis
  • relevance feedback
  • multimedia databases
  • image/video/audio databases
  • multimedia data mining
  • multimedia data modeling
  • multimedia data indexing
  • multimedia data storage
  • new standards
  • network support for multimedia data
  • distributed multimedia systems
  • applications

Instructions for authors:

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the above and related topics are solicited. All submitted papers will be refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on the review results.All questions should be addressed to the PC chair.

An electronic version (PDF format) of the full paper should be submitted by the paper submission deadline to the workshop website (http://www.cis.fiu.edu/conferences/mipr08).
