• Semantic multimedia metadata ontology and management
• Multimedia content analysis and processing
• Social media and presence
• Semantics-enabled networking and middleware for multimedia applications
• Multimedia security, content protection and forensics
• Multi-modal integration, human-machine interaction and applications
• Semantic-based QoS control and scheduling
• Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery
• Multimedia-enriched semantic web
• Multimedia event detection and understanding
• Semantic multimedia demonstrations and applications
• Multimedia information fusion for semantics mining
• Multimedia near duplication detection
