Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital multimedia data delivered on new generation mobile devices, such as PDA, smart phones, and portable audiovisual player, has created new challenges for more effective content retrieval anywhere at anytime.

MoMIR workshop is held in conjunction with the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Multimedia. The purpose of the 1st International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Information is to provide an international forum for researchers, students, professionals, and experts from academia and industry to present new research results, exchange ideas, and discussion on future challenges in multimedia information retrieval on mobile and wireless platforms.

Topics of interest

 The workshop program will include invited talks, peer reviewed technical program, demos, short papers, posters, tutorials, panels, industrial presentations, and exhibitions.

We are soliciting original papers and proposals that address a range of issues in multimedia information retrieval on mobile and wireless platforms including, but not limited to:

• Content-based indexing, search and retrieval of multimedia (MM) data for mobile applications.
• Retrieval models, query language and query processing for mobile MM access.
• Summarisation, content representation, and visualisation of multimedia content for pervasive devices.
• Emerging architecture to enable seamless, smooth, and reliable MM streaming over wireless network.
• Interaction design (HCI) and user modelling in mobile MM settings.
• Security issues and solutions for mobile MM retrieval.
• Multimedia data compression techniques to enable faster MM delivery in small and limited bandwidth.
• Innovative applications in mobile MM retrieval and collaboration.
