 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
