The International MultiMedia Modeling Conference (MMM) is a leading international conference (http://mmm2012.org) for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all MMM related areas. The conference calls for research papers reporting original investigation results and industrial track papers reporting real multimedia applications and system development experience. The conference also calls for special session proposals focusing on specific new challenges in the multimedia area.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

1. Multimedia Content Analysis

Multimedia Indexing
Multimedia Abstraction and Summarization
Multimedia Annotation, Tagging and Recommendation
