Multimodal data and multimodal interaction are actually focal issues involving from health to
environmental data. They address new approaches for human-machine interaction, machine
learning, information retrieval, query processing, data mining and other relevant aspects
connected with the complexity the real world, which is widely and intrinsically characterized by
multimodality,
The pervasive use of mobile devices, the development of more natural users’ interfaces and
the new possibilities offered by the evolution of Web applications, the more and more
sophisticated sensors used for health applications, as well as sensors and tools used for
security and environmental sensors collect multimodal data and information.
The purpose of this workshop will be to discuss and provide a scenario about: 1) theories and
techniques about multimodal information retrieval, multimodal data mining and multimodal
databases for indexing, representing, organizing, querying and extracting features from
multimodal data, 2) machine learning 3) multimodal interfaces and multimodal interaction
languages used in a more natural/flexible Human Machine Interaction approach, 4) the
multimodal Web interaction.
Topics of interests include but are not limited to:
? Multimodal Information Retrieval
? Multimodal Web Interaction
? Indexing, Search, and Retrieval Techniques of Multimodal Data
? Multimodal Database Systems
? Multimodal Query Processing

Papers Submission:
The full paper submission is limited to 5 pages in length (IEEE ICDE Format). Simultaneous
submission to another conference/workshop/journal is not allowed. Papers must be original
and have not been published or under consideration for publications elsewhere. Papers will be
reviewed by at least 3 program committee members for their technical merit, originality,
significance, and relevance to the workshop.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference and present the
paper. Papers accepted for presentation will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as
proceedings of the DEXA'10 workshops.
Best papers will be selected for possible publication in specialized international journals.
