= OVERVIEW =
With the popularity of multimedia data on the web, efficiently accessing and
managing the explosively growing multimedia content from large-scale web
archives and multimedia database has become essential.
During the last decades, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to
automatic multimedia analysis and processing, such as acquisition, generation,
storage, and retrieval of large-scale multimedia information.
However, despite these techniques already provide promising results, there
are still several key difficulties such as semantic gap and user gap in
multimedia analysis/processing and annotation/tagging, respectively.

This workshop is calling for papers that investigate the emerging research
challenges in the field of multimedia and web which could be helped by reducing
the semantic and user 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 submit
their research papers which are related to the following topics
(but are not limited to).


= TOPICS (included, but are not limited to): =
* Artificial intelligence in multimedia
* Collective intelligence in multimedia
* HCI in multimedia
* Machine learning in multimedia
* Multimedia applications
* Multimedia content analysis
* Multimedia mining
* Multimedia networking
* Multimedia ontology
* Multimedia Processing
* Multimedia retrieval
* Multimedia security
* Pattern recognition in multimedia
* Semantic multimedia
* Semantic web
* Service-oriented computing
* Social networks
* Web services
* Web mining
* Smart devices and the web
* Data and content management on the web

appropriate fee payment.

All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Lecture Notes
in Electrical Engineering (LNEE) - Springer (indexed by EI and SCOPUS).

Papers must strictly adhere to page limits as follows.
- Full Paper: 8 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)
- Regular Paper: 6 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)

Papers exceeding the page limits will be rejected without review.

Instructions for papers in the Springer's LNEE（Note that the paper format of LNEE is the same
as that of LNCS.

- Prepare your paper in the exact format as the sample paper for LNEE. Failure to do so may
result in the exclusion of your paper from the proceedings. Please read the authors'
instructions carefully before preparing your papers.
- Springer accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format in the Lecture Note Series. However,
FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of
using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex). Springer
provides the relevant templates and sample files for both PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs)
environments.
