The 1st International Workshop on
Semantic Enhanced Multimedia Presentation Systems (SEMPS 2006),
co-located with the
Semantics and Digital Media Technology Conference (SAMT).


Submission Deadline: August 30, 2006


Description

It is almost 10 years since Intelligent Multimedia Presentation  
Systems (IMMPS) were formalised in a Standard Reference Model. Even  
then, the role of knowledge bases and reasoning was recognised as a  
vital element for the adaptive and automated production of multimedia  
presentations. This decade has seen the rise of the Web as a platform  
for multimedia delivery and of Semantic Web research to enable the  
expression and manipulation of knowledge over the Web. The goal of  
this workshop is to explore how Semantic Web technologies can be  
applied to Multimedia Presentation Systems in order to support  
Internet-based delivery of user and context personalised, rich media- 
based Web presentations and new innovative types of online service.  
We are soliciting high-quality original submissions that present  
novel ideas in the field, discuss and question existing paradigms and  
introduce new research directions. Topics include, but are not  
limited to:
Knowledge and Semantics in Multimedia Data Organisation,

Describing users, devices, contexts etc. for targeted multimedia  
presentation,

Ontologies and vocabularies for describing aspects of multimedia  
processes,

Dynamic generation of coherent multimedia presentations,

Services delivering multimedia content in response to information  
queries,

Current Challenges in Semantic-enhanced Multimedia Presentation Systems
