_/_/_/ Scope of the workshop _/_/_/

In recent years, social media has become an essential part of

networking and communication environment online. As people use

this environment to connect one another and retrieve different

information of their interest, one of the most popular information

which is being shared through the social media network is

multimedia data such as photos, video and music. Along with this

popularity, various multimedia-based applications are developed

to entertain the users. These include art creation (e.g.

applications for a portrait photo into a pencil drawing or a

painting) and cultural creation (e.g. applications for processing

a scenery photo into a Japanese wood-print art. In the field of

multimedia image processing, semantic multi-media retrieval has

been in a main focus of research for the last two decades. Recently

a large number of cutting-edge algorithms have been developed using

object recognition techniques for predetermined domains such as

identifying animals and plants over the Internet or large datasets.

In order to overcome the so-called "semantic gap", content-based

image retrieval methods using low-level visual features have been

exploited and applied at early years until now. Today newer methods

have been developed. Artificial intelligence and machine learning

techniques applying mainly unsupervised learning is a focused

research area. A more recent research, which is gaining an

increased interest, is connecting low-level features with

contextual and conceptual information. Meanwhile, emergence of

high-end devices such as smart phones comes with a wide variety of

metadata. Selectively applying some useful metadata can further

improve intelligence of the semantic multi-media research environment.

_/_/_/ Important dates _/_/_/

Paper Submission: August 12, 2013 (midnight, Pacific Standard Time)

Authors’ notification: September 12, 2013

Final camera versions due: October 5, 2013

Authors’ registration: October 10, 2013

_/_/_/ Submission guidelines _/_/_/

All submissions should be in IEEE conference style and PDF format.

Papers may not exceed 8 pages. Two extra pages can be purchased.

Paper submission will only be online via: Easy Chair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sitis2013 )

The online system will be used to handle and process all papers

and to prepare for the final proceedings. All submitted papers will

be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance,

technical soundness, and clarity of expression by at least two

reviewers. The organizers will examine the reviews and make final

paper selections. More details about the submission process can be

found on the conference website.

_/_/_/ Publication _/_/_/

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and

published by IEEE Computer Society and referenced in IEEE explore

and major indexes. The proceedings will be available at the

conference. Extended version of selected accepted papers will be

considered for publication in major journals.

_/_/_/ Registration _/_/_/

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the

workshop. Registration must be done on the SITIS website at the

time when the author sends the camera-ready copy of the accepted

paper to the workshop chair. Workshop registration fee is

determined by SITIS. A single registration for the workshop or the

conference allows to attend both events.
