PWMCR 2013 - Second IEEE International Ph.D. Workshop on Multimedia Computing Research

Second IEEE International Ph.D. Workshop on Multimedia Computing Research
1. Introduction
The 2013 IEEE Ph.D. Workshop is an international forum for doctoral students in the field of Multimedia Computing. The workshop provides Ph.D. students with the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive atmosphere. The workshop will include prominent researchers from the industry and academia, who will participate actively in the discussions. This is the second installment of the workshop, which was previously held in Irvine, California, USA in 2012.
We particularly encourage submissions from students who are in the final stages of their doctoral work, and who can therefore present a relatively complete picture of their dissertations, as well as students who are in the early stages of their work and thus have a significant future work component. The former group will have the opportunity to showcase their doctoral work to a wider audience in preparation for job search, whereas the latter can obtain valuable feedback about their research plans.
2. Paper Submission
Prospective Ph.D. students are invited to submit papers of no more than 4 pages in length, formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Guidelines (available at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formattin...). Accepted camera-ready papers will be limited to 2 pages in length. The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of the ISM 2013 proceedings, which will appear in the IEEE Digital Library.
Only active Ph.D. students are eligible to submit and the manuscripts should address specifically doctoral work. All submissions must have the student as the lead author (the supervisor may be a co-author). Accepted submissions must be presented by their student authors. A Ph.D. Workshop Best Paper Award will be given at the conference banquet.
Topics of interest include those listed in the call for the main conference. Each submission should include a clear formulation of the research problem, a brief discussion of how the work advances the state-of-the-art, proposed approach, preliminary results, and future work.
3. Important Dates
Submission of full-length papers: July 15, 2013
Notification of acceptance: August 23, 2013
