9th Workshop on Multimedia Metadata (WMM'09)
with a special focus on context-aware mobile multimedia services

March 19th-20th
To be held in conjunction with CORESA'09

It can be expected in the near future that the number of created digital multimedia content will rise dramatically. Multimedia metadata is currently the only way to cope with problems like semantics based retrieval or organization of content and provides means to specify adaptation and delivery constraints and rules. In addition, the integration of accurate hand-held positioning within mobile phones, PDAs, portable computer and the like have brought location-based services directly to individuals, transforming the way we work, travel or play. Therefore location has become an important element of the context when using a mobile multimedia application. The usage context becomes richer and provides new hints for search, delivery and consumption to individual user's situations.

This workshop proposes to disseminate ideas on multimedia content analysis, indexing and retrieval, multimedia semantics and in special on the usage of location information for smart media acquisition and multimedia content analysis.
