  The purpose of this first international workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, students, professionals, and experts to present and discuss research in cross-media technologies. Of particular importance will be new and emerging applications as well as the enabling technologies to support automatic production of cross-media content and multi-platform delivery.
 
 


First International Workshop on
Cross-Media Technologies and Applications
(CMTA'09)

16-19 March 2009
Fukuoka, Japan

To be held in conjunction with International Conference on Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS2009)

 

Scope

The emerging trend shows that interconnected and ubiquitous computer systems are becoming part of everyday life. As a consequence, there is a growing expectation to have a universal interactive experience with information and services across all domains and devices.

The purpose of this first international workshop is to provide a forum for researchers, students, professionals, and experts to present and discuss research in cross-media technologies. Of particular importance will be new and emerging applications as well as the enabling technologies to support automatic production of cross-media content and multi-platform delivery.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Automated Production of Cross-media Content.
  • Multimedia content extraction and indexing.
  • Aggregation of multi-modal information such as text, image, and video.
  • Automatic content repurposing for multiple devices and platforms such as mobile TV, next-gen game consoles, and Web 2.0.
  • Design issues in cross-media content
  • Architecture and data modelling to support cross-media tagging, indexing and data management.
  • Retrieval and search techniques to enable effective querying across cross-media content.
  • Visual and interaction design to support engaging cross-media experience.
  • Multi-platform delivery methods.
  • In-vehicle services.
  • Wireless networking.
  • Applications of cross-media contents in current and emerging domains such as information/entertainment, games, marketing, and communication.
