In the last decade, substantial progress has been made in content-based

analysis and multimedia streaming to facilitate the development of

large-scale multimedia information systems. Together with the recent

progress on semantic web, it is now possible to build a new generation

of multimedia applications that enable large-scale semantic

representation, analysis, and delivery of multimedia data from

heterogeneous data sources. However, there is still a long way to go

for mature solutions of multimedia database systems that are capable of

processing semantics-rich, large-volume multimedia data. It could be

even more challenging if such systems are under stringent functional and

non-functional (e.g., QoS) requirements.

The goal of this special issue is to bring the semantic web community

and multimedia processing & computing community together and provide a

forum for multidisciplinary research opportunities, with a focus on how

to apply the semantic technologies to the acquisition, generation,

transmission, storage, processing, and retrieval of multimedia

information. Discussions on future challenges in multimedia information

manipulation, as well as practical solutions for the design and

implementation of multimedia database software systems are also encouraged.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that

span both semantic technologies and multimedia processing & computing:

. Automatic generation of multimedia presentations

. Semantic multimedia metadata extraction

. Annotation tools and methods for multimedia semantics

. Media ontology generation/learning/reasoning

. Content-based multimedia analysis

. Multimedia indexing, searching, and retrieving

. Multimedia streaming

. Semantic-based QoS control and scheduling

. Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery

. Multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-7 and XMP) and Semantic Web

. Semantics enabled multimedia applications (including

annotation, browsing, storage, retrieval, and visualization)

. Semantics enabled networking and middleware for multimedia

applications
