Table of Contents

The pervasive use of mobile devices, the development of more natural users�?? interfaces and the new possibilities offered by the evolution of Web applications, together with the availability of large amount of multimodal data and information, enable people to access them and/or to use a multimodal dialog approach in order to access information and/or services.

The purpose of this workshop will be to discuss and provide a scenario about: 1) theories and techniques about multimodal information retrieval and multimodal databases for indexing, representing, organizing, querying and extracting features from multimodal data, and 2) multimodal interfaces and multimodal interaction languages used in a more natural/flexible Human Computer Interaction approach, 3) the multimodal Web interaction.

Topics of interests include but are not limited to:

·         Multimodal information retrieval

·         Multimodal Web interaction

·         Indexing, search, and retrieval techniques of multimodal data

·         Multimodal database systems

·         Multimodal query processing

·         Information extraction

·         Information fusion and fission

·         Multimodal query languages

·         Multimodal interfaces and Multimodal interaction languages

·         Evaluation of multimodal interfaces
