MMSP 2012 is the 14th international workshop on multimedia signal processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The focus theme for this workshop is media-sharing social networks. MMSP 2012 aims to bring researchers from different areas (signal processing, information management, computer sciences, and psycho-sociology) together to explore the impact of multimodal signal and information processing for the emerging research field of media-sharing social networks, and ultimately to design multimedia systems with more efficient, secure, context-aware, and personalized services.

Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to the following topics, covering the general scope of multimedia signal processing:

Behaviour dynamics, social intelligence and social cognition
Behaviour modelling and analysis in social networks
Trust and belief in social contexts
Securing mechanisms and privacy in social networks
Cognitive modelling, machine learning/understanding
Multimedia Systems and Emerging Applications
Social media networks
Virtual classroom and distance learning
E-Health and telemedicine
Mobile, sensor, or human networks
Human computer interaction
Multimedia hardware and software
Multimedia Signal Processing
Multimedia communications and networking
Multimedia database and digital libraries: multimedia indexing and retrieval, multimedia representation and search
Multimedia content analysis
Multimedia security and forensics
Multimedia interaction
Virtual reality and 3D imaging
