CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2010 will be the fourteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government.

Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses.

The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework.

IEEE EDOC 2010 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain.

IEEE EDOC 2010 will be realized in Vitória, ES, Brazil. Vitória is one of the three island capitals of Brazilian states, and is located in the Southeastern region, the most developed of Brazil. The city lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra do Mar mountain range and is strategically located close to the big urban centres of the country and is, on average, an hour by plane from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

The increasing volumes and dimensions of information have dramatic
impact on effective decision-making. To remedy this situation,
Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse
of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge
representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating
this knowledge into legacy systems. IRI plays a pivotal role in the
capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and
extrapolation of information; and applies both information and
knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application
domains. This conference explores three major tracks: information
reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information
reuse considers optimizing representation methodologies; information
integration studies strategies for creatively applying models in
novel domains; and reusable systems focus on ontological
opportunities for deploying models and corresponding processes.

The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present,
discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with
real-world solutions. The conference feature contributed and
invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both included.
The conference program will include special sessions, open forum
workshops, and keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with
the intent of bridging IRI and Systems of Systems and why the future
of intelligent computing - including computing applications - will
lie at the juxtaposition of these two topical areas.

IEEE International Workshop on

Analysis and Modeling of Faces and Gestures (AMFG2010), in conjunction with CVPR 2010

===========================================================================

IEEE International Workshop on Analysis and Modeling of Faces and Gestures (AMFG2010)

--- Towards Large-Scale Data from Real-World Environments

Website: http://www.lv-nus.org/AMFG2010/

During the last 30 years, human-centered perceptual understanding tasks such as face/body detection/ tracking, facial characteristic analysis (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, and expression), face/gait based human identification, and from understanding simple hand gesture to complex human body language, activity and behaviour, have attracted researchers from both computational and psychological communities. To be able to build tractable models has significant scientific and practical values. For example, human-computer interaction, video indexing, visual surveillance, and Internet vision are active application areas. To that end, researchers have made substantial progress. However, significant challenges still remain.

This one-day workshop (AMFG2010) will provide a focused international forum to bring together researchers and research groups to review the status of recognition, analysis and modeling of face, gesture, and body, to discuss the challenges that we are facing, and to explore future directions. A particular interest and focus of this workshop will be placed upon large-scale data from real-world environments. The workshop will consist of two to three invited talks together with peer-reviewed regular papers (oral and poster). Original high-quality papers are solicited on a wide range of topics including:

• Face and body language recognition in real-world environments with unknown/changing background, e.g., Internet image search, or Facebook, or crowded public spaces.

• Soft biometrics and profiling: age, gender, and ethnicity classification by facial and/or body descriptions.

• Novel mathematical modelling and algorithms, sensors and modalities for face & body gesture/action representation, analysis and recognition.

• Novel applications based on robust detection, tracking and recognition of face, body and action.

• Psychological studies that can assist in understanding computational modelling and building better automated computer vision systems.

• Motion analysis, tracking and extraction of face and body models from image sequences captured by a single or multiple cameras from either a fixed or mobile platform.

• Detection and recognition of face and body under large 3D rotation, illumination change, partial occlusion, and aging.

• Face, gait and action recognition in low-quality, low-resolution video from fixed or mobile cameras.

• Dynamics and learning for gesture, activity, and body behavior interpretation.

computing
* New spatial architectures with immense parallelism but different
basic components than FPGAs
* System-level architectures for reconfigurable computing in either
real-time or non-real-time systems
* Hybrid architectures that integrate a mix of coarse, fine,
special-purpose, and general-purpose hardware
* Implications and effects of nanotechnology on reconfigurable
computing (and vice versa)

Languages and Compilers

CFP:

With the proliferation of multimedia data (image, video, structured text, etc.) and the recent advances in networks and information technology, multimedia computing is having an unprecedented impact on every aspect of our life, from the personal use of multimedia mobile devices, such as iPod and PDA, to a wide spectrum of domains such as business and healthcare. The new multimedia standards (e.g., MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in an ever effective way, bringing along the multimedia revolution. Traditional multimedia research, which largely lies in signal processing and data communication, is now facing challenges posed by the new research trends such as multimedia semantic computing, multi-modal interaction and cross-mining, cooperative processing, new multimedia standards, Quality of Service (QoS), multimedia security, and social issues, which are just a few examples of the major research areas.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in multimedia semantic computing to discuss the state of the art of the research on semantic-based multimedia systems, present theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, and identify challenges and open issues in multimedia semantic modeling and integration. Multimedia semantic computing can be defined as "Computing with (machine processable) Descriptions of Content and Intentions" of multimedia data and has been gaining attentions in various applications including pervasive multimedia computing systems, multimedia delivery over the network, personalized multimedia information retrieval systems which adapt to the user's needs, integration of semantic content and schema from distributed multimedia sources so that the user sees a unified view of heterogeneous data, clustering and classification of semantically-tied information in different multimedia modalities, security issues in multimedia/hypertext systems, etc. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit original research contributions to this workshop.

IEEE SCMS 2009 will be held in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/icsc/).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:


* semantic content analysis

*INTERNET MULTIMEDIA MINING*

http://research.microsoft.com/IMM2009/

In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 2009

December 6, Miami, Florida, USA

Aims and scopeWith the explosion of video and image data available on the Internet, online multimedia applications become more and more important. Moreover, mining semantics and other useful information from large-scale Internet multimedia data to facilitate online and local multimedia content analysis, search and other related applications has also gained more and more attention from both academia and industry. On the one hand, the rapid increase of online multimedia data brings new challenges to multimedia content analysis, multimedia retrieval and related multimedia applications, especially in scalability. Both computation cost and performance of many existing techniques are far from satisfactory. On the other hand, Internet also provides us with new opportunities to attack these challenges as well has conventional problems encountered in multimedia mining, content analysis, image/video understanding and computer vision. That is, the massive associated metadata, context and social information available on the Internet, as well as the massive grassroots Internet users, are invaluable resources that can be leveraged to solve the aforementioned difficulties.

Recently more and more researchers are realizing both the challenges and the opportunities for multimedia research brought by the Internet. This full-day workshop aims at bringing together high-quality and novel research works on "Internet Multimedia Mining".

One of the major obstacles of "Internet Multimedia Mining" research is the difficulty in forming a "good" dataset for algorithm developing, system prototyping and performanceevaluation. Together with this workshop, we release a benchmark dataset, which is based on real Internet multimedia data and real Internet multimedia search engines. Submissions to this workshop are encouraged to use this dataset, but papers/demos working on other Internet-based datasets are also welcome.

MSRA Multimedia Dataset

MSRA-MM Version 1 dataset is ready for shipping. Detailed information about the dataset can

be find at: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=79942. Please contact the

dataset chair (Meng Wang: mengwang@microsoft.com) to request the data.

MSRA-MM Version 2 dataset (10 times larger with more metadata) will be ready around June 15.

Please submit your request to the dataset chair.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Internet video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by combining textual description and video/image content.

* General video/image/audio annotation, classification, tagging, search ranking and reranking by exploiting Internet data and/or users. Approaches which can handle large-scale data/users are more preferred.

* Video/image/audio processing and analyses using Internet data as a knowledge base.

* Social media processing, such as online media authoring and sharing, tag recommendation, tag filtering, tag ranking, and search ranking based on image/video/audio social context.

* Knowledge mining from Internet multimedia data, such as mining semantic distance of keywords or images, mining video/image/audio copy relationships (e.g., given a video/image/audio, to find all videos/images on the Internet that have the same content with the video/image, either entirely or partially), mining trends of multimedia consuming/sharing, mining knowledge (for example, "photo encyclopedia"", from massive amount of multimedia content on the Internet, etc.

* Web-scale content-based multimedia retrieval (for example, approaches based on large-scale high-dimensional feature indexing).

* Other online multimedia mining applications, such as multimedia advertising, multimedia recommendation, as well as location/GPS/geography-enabled multimedia, multimedia sensor network over the Internet, etc.

Paper Submission

We accept two forms of submissions: regular full papers and demonstrations. Regular submissions for this workshop are required to use the same format as regular ICDM long papers (a maximum of 10 pages in the IEEE 2-column format). And demonstration submission requires a 1- or 2-page demo description. We especially encourage long-paper authors to submit a demo also. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. Extended version of selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal in data mining or multimedia area.

Award

The workshop will present two awards: a best paper award and a best demonstration award, judged by a separate awards committee.
