First International Workshop on Multimedia Analysis and Uncertainty
Representation (MAUR)
Half Day Workshop
http://image.ntua.gr/events/maur/web/
First International Conference on Semantic and Digital Media Technologies
(6-8 December 2006) Wednesday
December 6 2006 –
http://samt2006.org/index.html DESCRIPTION Multimedia processing like analysis and
retrieval are inherently difficult tasks. In order to assist multimedia processing algorithms and applications, researchers are
proposing ways to enrich multimedia algorithms with knowledge representational formalisms. In this way the multimedia
processing techniques could take advantage of formal representation and automated reasoning methods. On the other hand multimedia processing algorithms are
usually facing a huge amount of uncertain and imprecise knowledge.
Hence knowledge representational formalisms must be equipped with mechanisms that are able to cope with such type of
knowledge. The last couple of years a quite impressive number of
uncertainty handling formalism have been developed, like fuzzy and probabilistic Description Logics, fuzzy, possibilistic and probabilistic Logic Programming languages etc. Such logical formalisms combine expressive power and decidable reasoning techniques. The use of such formalisms in multimedia applications would greatly benefit these applications and will provide new
research results. TOPICS Multimedia Content Representation and Reasoning. Image and Video Analysis with Uncertainty Reasoning. Segmentation. Recognition. Multimedia Information retrieval. Scene Interpretation. Automatic Annotation. Classification and indexing of multimedia information
objects. IMPORTANT DATES ****Full Paper Submission: September 15, 2006**** Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2006 Camera-Ready Papers due: November 2, 2006 Conference: December 6, 2006 SUBMISSION Each submission will be evaluated for acceptability by at
leasttwo members of the Program Committee. Decisions about acceptance
will be based on relevance to the above topic list, originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity. Since all
accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, we require that at
least one of the submitting authors must be a registered
participant at the SAMT 2006 Conference, and committed to attend the MAUR Workshop. MAUR 2006 welcomes the submission of two kind of
papers: short position paper (2 pages maximum in Springer LNCS
format), giving a brief description of an on-going
implementation, algorithm or system. full papers (8 pages maximum in Springer LNCS format),
good original research and application papers of the topics of the
workshop. Papers must be submitted directly by email in PDF format to [EMAIL PROTECTED] prior to the paper submission
deadline. Paper submissions must be formatted in the style of the
Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS). For complete details, see Information for LNCS Authors. All papers selected by the program committee will be
published by provided by the SAMT. All papers accepted will be presented during the workshop.
This would include 20 minutes presentation (15 minutes
presentation + 5 minutes discussion) for full papers, while authors of
accepted position papers will have a 5-minute slot to share their
ideas. ORGANIZERS Giorgos Stoilos (National and Jeff Z. Pan (Department of Computing Science, The Umberto Straccia (ISTI - Italian National Research Council
