---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First International Workshop on Multimedia Analysis and Uncertainty Representation (MAUR) Half Day Workshop http://image.ntua.gr/events/maur/web/ First International Conference on Semantic and Digital Media Technologies (6-8 December 2006) Wednesday December 6 2006 – Athens, Greece http://samt2006.org/index.html DESCRIPTION Multimedia processing like analysis and retrieval are inherently difficult tasks. In order to assist multimedia processing algorithms and applications, researchers are proposing ways to enrich multimedia algorithms with knowledge representational formalisms. In this way the multimedia processing techniques could take advantage of formal representation and automated reasoning methods. On the other hand multimedia processing algorithms are usually facing a huge amount of uncertain and imprecise knowledge. Hence knowledge representational formalisms must be equipped with mechanisms that are able to cope with such type of knowledge. The last couple of years a quite impressive number of uncertainty handling formalism have been developed, like fuzzy and probabilistic Description Logics, fuzzy, possibilistic and probabilistic Logic Programming languages etc. Such logical formalisms combine expressive power and decidable reasoning techniques. The use of such formalisms in multimedia applications would greatly benefit these applications and will provide new research results. TOPICS Multimedia Content Representation and Reasoning. Image and Video Analysis with Uncertainty Reasoning. Segmentation. Recognition. Multimedia Information retrieval. Scene Interpretation. Automatic Annotation. Classification and indexing of multimedia information objects. IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper Submission: September 10, 2006 Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2006 Camera-Ready Papers due: November 2, 2006 Conference: December 6, 2006 SUBMISSION Each submission will be evaluated for acceptability by at leasttwo members of the Program Committee. Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the above topic list, originality, potential significance, topicality and clarity. Since all accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, we require that at least one of the submitting authors must be a registered participant at the SAMT 2006 Conference, and committed to attend the MAUR Workshop. MAUR 2006 welcomes the submission of two kind of papers: short position paper (2 pages maximum in Springer LNCS format), giving a brief description of an on-going implementation, algorithm or system. full papers (8 pages maximum in Springer LNCS format), good original research and application papers of the topics of the workshop. Papers must be submitted directly by email in PDF format to gstoil@image.ece.ntua.gr prior to the paper submission deadline. Paper submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For complete details, see Information for LNCS Authors. All papers selected by the program committee will be published by provided by the SAMT. All papers accepted will be presented during the workshop. This would include 20 minutes presentation (15 minutes presentation + 5 minutes discussion) for full papers, while authors of accepted position papers will have a 5-minute slot to share their ideas.
