CALL FOR PAPERS - FutureTV-2011: Making Television Personal & Social 2nd International Workshop on the Future of Television http://notube.tv/notube-workshop-on-future-television-2011/ June 29, 2011 at EuroITV 2011, Lisbon, Portugal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The growing amount of data available on the social and semantic Webs, APIs to access and manipulate that data, and trends towards common identifiers and metadata schema allow future television new opportunities to link TV viewing with both the viewer's personal Web profiles on social networks, and with social activities across the Web also from friends and similar people. The second edition of this workshop will build on research, services and results from the NoTube project, bringing NoTube experts together with the wider iTV research and enterprise community to explore the new possibilities inherent in social Web, semantic Web, Linked Data and semantic TV to produce future, new, innovative services and platforms for TV which is more personal and more social. This goes beyond the existing state of the art social TV through the introduction of open Web standards, semantic Web technology and Linked Data content. With this workshop we seek submissions related to addressing the gaps in the state of the art for making social-semantic-Television a reality as well as the consequenes on schemas, services, and standards: * Re-use of social Web data for TV program adaptation, recommendation, selection or mash-ups * Re-use of semantic Web data for TV program adaptation, recommendation, selection or mash-ups * Generation of social Web data from TV watching and interaction with the TV program * Generation of semantic Web data from TV watching and interaction with the TV program * User profiling with respect to interests, TV preferences, or current mood * Integrating existing broadcast TV infrastructure with the social and semantic Web * Annotation of TV programming with social or semantic Web data schemas * Applying semantic and social Web applications on the television, including development for the set top box, design of appropriate user interfaces and exploration of user interaction patterns * Integration of semantic and social Web data in TV-based applications Important Dates ----------------------- Submission deadline: April 29, 2011 Notifications: May 20, 2011 Camera ready copy: May 30, 2011 Workshop day: June 29, 2011 Submission ----------------- We seek short and long paper submissions as PDF.
