Call For Papers - CFP

Considering that mobile and portable devices are usually supplied with multiple sensors (e.g., camera and microphone), how to employ multimodal information for interaction has recently received much attention in both academia and industry. But interactive multimedia is still an under-explored field. Many challenges exist when moving to multimodal interaction: for example, how to annotate and search huge data acquired by using multiple sensors, especially in the unconstrained end-user environments? how to effectively extract and select representative multimedia features for human behavior recognition? and how to select the fusion strategy of multimodal data for a given application? To address these challenges, we must adapt the existing approaches or find new solutions suitable for multimedia interaction on mobile and portable devices.

This workshop will bring together researchers from both academia and industry in domains including computer vision, audio and speech processing, machine learning, pattern recognition, communications, human-computer interaction, and media technology to share and discuss recent advances in interactive multimedia. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Multimedia description and markup

Multimedia representation and annotation

Multimedia search and retrieval

Presence and environment sensing

Face detection, tracking, and recognition

Hand detection, tracking, and recognition

Emotion/mood recognition

Gesture/action/activity recognition

Audio-visual recognition and interaction

Novel interaction (accelerometer, touch screen, haptics, voice, etc.)

Multimodal data modeling and fusion

Multimedia content adaptation

Social media computing and interaction

Context-aware services

Interaction with depth-sensing (e.g., Kinect)

Paper Submission

When submitting a manuscript to this workshop, the authors acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted to another conference, workshop, or journal.

Full papers may be up to 6 pages (in ACM format). All papers must follow the general paper submission instructions of ACM Multimedia 2012.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format using the ACM Multimedia submission site .

Review and Publication

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three TPC members and/or external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity, soundness, relevance and technical contents.

The review process will be double-blind.

Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the workshop proceedings together with the ACM Multimedia 2012 proceedings. Extended versions of accepted papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal or an edited book.

Workshop Program
