3rd Workshop on Many Faces of Multimedia Semantics
==================================================

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina
San Diego, California, USA
December 14-16, 2009
https://www-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ms09/

The 3rd Workshop on Many Faces of Multimedia Semantics will be a one-day
workshop to be held during the IEEE International Symposium on
Multimedia (ISM?09, http://ism2009.eecs.uci.edu/). It will take place in
Dec. 2009 in San Diego, USA.

Objectives
==========

Information is increasingly becoming ubiquitous and all-pervasive, with 
the World-Wide Web as its primary repository. Especially in the field of 
multimedia, the Web gains more and more importance. Many broadcasters 
maintain compulsory online video archives and, for instance, in January 
2009, YouTube had more than 100 million viewers in the U.S. Altogether, 
multimedia represents a significant share of HTTP traffic and multimedia 
consumption represents a significant share of user intentions on the Web.

This will be a one-day workshop to be held during ISM?09. Besides the
standard research contributions, there will also be a poster session and
a session devoted to the presentation of results from current Ph.D.
students, as well as a keynote talk. Based on last year?s workshop, the
keynote will include discussions of necessary research agendas which
will bring together important subsets of the research communities
working on multimedia semantics, the Semantic Web, and Web 2.0. Best
papers of this workshop will be published in IEEE Multimedia.
