Conference (http://mmm2014.org/)

==========================================================================================

WMPA 2014 aims at offering Masters and PhD students and junior 
researchers from all over the world training on the latest technological 
developments in the area of multimedia processing (media analysis, media 
annotation, media rights management) and of emerging multimedia 
applications (in the Sensor Web, audiovisual archives, TV broadcasting, 
digital preservation and e-learning domains).

The school will combine delivering in-depth lectures with giving to its 
participants the possibility for gaining hands-on experience on the use 
of new multimedia processing techniques (e.g. media fragment annotation 
and re-use technologies), and on the effectiveness, privacy etc. issues 
that may arise. The latest R&D in EU funded projects and latest insights 
from experts in the industry domains which stand to benefit from these 
new technologies will help students to appreciate the state of the art 
and future chances for industry adoption. The school will also support 
the close interaction between the students and all participants of the 
MMM’14 conference; among other possibilities, all school’s students will 
have the chance to bring a poster describing their current research work 
and present it in a joint winter school – MMM’14 poster session.
