ACM SIGMM International Conference on Multimedia Information
Retrieval
Call for Papers
Multimedia information retrieval is a cross-cutting field. Extending
beyond the borders of culture, art, and science, the search for
digital information is one of the major challenges of our time.
Digital libraries, bio-computing & medical science, the Internet and
social networking sites, streaming video, multimedia databases,
cultural heritage collections and P2P networks have created a
worldwide need for new paradigms and techniques on how to browse,
search and summarize multimedia collections and more generally how to
afford efficient multimedia content consumption.
The 11th ACM International Conference on Multimedia Information
Retrieval (MIR) is the premier scientific meeting for discussing the
latest advances in the area of multimedia retrieval. MIR 2010 is on
its second year as a full ACM conference, following nine successful
years as a workshop held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia
Conference. The growth of MIR is a result the growing importance of
multimedia content in our lives. In MIR 2008, there were 308 submitted
papers with an overall (full and short papers) acceptance rate of 18%.
The conference was attended by more than 150 registered participants.
The purpose of MIR 2010 is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry. We are soliciting original
papers that address a wide range of issues in multimedia information
exploration, summarization and retrieval including, but not limited
to:
Analysis, Indexing, Search and Retrieval of multimedia data: images,
video, audio, music, other data types, multi-modal systems
Multimedia Data Mining
Personal Multimedia Content Management: analysis, search, retrieval,
summarization
Learning, personalization and relevance feedback in multimedia
retrieval
Scalable indexing, search and structuring
Novel Interfaces for multimedia management, search and retrieval
Exploration of media archives: browsing, experiential computing
Interfaces and User Experience for multimedia exploration,
visualization,
Digital Life Experience analysis and retrieval - life logs, digital
immortality, life bits Video surveillance browsing and retrieval,
Context and content-based approaches to multimedia retrieval
Mobile multimedia indexing, search and retrieval applications
Identification and monitoring: Trademark search, multimedia copy
detection, multimedia watermarking techniques
Application domains: Scientific multimedia, environmental studies, bio-
computing and medical multimedia analysis and indexing (MRI/CT,
microscopic images, satellite imaging, sensors, etc.), Preserving
cultural heritage.
Special Sessions
---------------------------
Special Sessions for emerging frontier theories or applications in
MIR. Note that the novelty requirement in these sessions is much
higher than the regular paper submissions. Information about these
sessions will be available on the conference Website.
Paper Submission
---------------------------
Full papers (10 pages in the ACM style sheet in English) should be
submitted through the website submission system. Each author can be
involved in at most two submissions to this conference. The authors
may choose to submit manuscripts for double-blind review. If that is
the case, we recommend that the authors not give any indications of
authorship in the text.
