MUST 2010 - The 2010 International Workshop on Multimedia and Semantic Technologies (MUST 2010)

The Workshop on Multimedia and Semantic Technologies (MUST'10) aims at high quality research contributions in multimedia semantic computing, with a focus on how to apply the semantic technologies to the acquisition, generation, storage, processing, and retrieval of large-scale multimedia information. A main goal of MUST is to address emerging research challenges in Semantic Multimedia and to help reducing the Semantic Gap between low-level content descriptions of multimedia and the semantics in high-level human interpretations of audiovisual media. Semantic Web and multimedia community researchers are encouraged to join the workshop to benefit from the presentation of results from multimedia based research, which demonstrate important multimedia applications which could be enhanced by Semantic Web technologies.

MUST'10 will be held in conjunction with FutureTech 2010, in Busan, Korea, 21-23 May 2010.

MUST'10 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of multimedia in general or in the context of specific domains.

The selected outstanding papers will be published in Multimedia Tools and Applications (SCIE) Journal.

Workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
Advanced Semantic Descriptors and Similarity Metrics for Multimedia
Advanced Semantic and Content-based Multimedia Analysis
Machine Learning and Relevance Feedback in Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval
Ontology Engineering and Ontology-based Multimedia Mining and Retrieval
Semantic Web technologies and Multimedia
Semantic-driven Multimedia Indexing and Retrieval
Semantic-driven Multimedia Personalization and Adaptation
Interfaces for Web-scale Multimedia Repositories
Affective/Emotional Interaction or Interfaces in Multimedia Applications
Applications of Semantic Multimedia in Social and Web-based Environments
Collective and Swarm Intelligence for Multimedia Applications
Multimedia and Digital Convergence
Intelligent Multimedia Services for Future Environments
Multimedia Security in Future Environments
