*          SAMT 2008 - CALL FOR POSTERS & DEMOS               *
*            3rd International Conference on                  *
*        Semantics And digital Media Technologies             *
*           Koblenz, Germany, 3-5 December 2008               *
***************************************************************

In cooperation with GI, ACM, IEEE, and Eurographics.

SAMT 2008 aims at narrowing the large disparity between the 
low-level descriptors that can be computed automatically from
multimedia content and the richness and subjectivity of semantics
in user queries and human interpretations of audiovisual media -
The Semantic Gap.

SAMT 2008 solicits project poster and demo contributions that will
be presented in special sessions during the conference, giving the
opportunity to present ongoing research and interesting work "in
progress". Objectives or results of active projects, initiatives
or standardization activities, reports on systems under development,
or descriptions of completed work are also welcome.

The Demo session is intended to provide a showcase for innovative
implementations, systems, and technologies related to semantic
multimedia. In principle, posters may be backed up with demos, and
vice versa. Contributions will be evaluated based on significance
of results, relevance to SAMT and expected impact. Posters and
Demos are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress
and not to advertise software packages!

SAMT 2008 poster & demo topics include, but are not limited to

 1) Semantic Analysis and Multimedia
 2) Semantic Retrieval and Multimedia
 3) Semantic Metadata Management of Multimedia
 4) Semantic User Interfaces for Multimedia
 5) Semantics in Visualization and Computer Graphics
 6) Applications of Semantic Multimedia

-------------------------------------
SUBMISSIONS FOR POSTER/DEMO PROPOSALS
-------------------------------------

SAMT 2008 welcomes your submission to the posters and demos session.

A short abstract is due September 1st, 2008 and should not exceed two
pages in LNCS style publication format (check the paper formatting
guidelines on the SAMT 2008 conference web site). Authors should
specify if the submission will be presented as a demo, a poster, or
both, and clearly indicate whether the submission concerns a project
(if so, they should specify the project).

All paper submissions and reviews will be handled via
https://www.conftool.net/samt2008/

Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the SAMT
topics, originality, potential significance and clarity. Authors
submitting a paper to the scientific track in SAMT 2008 may also
submit the same work for consideration in the poster and demo track,
either before or after acceptance notification for the full paper.
