The Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Information Hiding and Multimedia Signal Processing Harbin, China, August 15-17, 2008 Special Session: Multimedia and Information Retrieval The convergence of ICT and multimedia processing techniques in the last two decades has resulted in an enormous wealth of media , such as text, audio, speech, music, image and video, which populates the internets and various types of databases around the worlds, and requires new indexing techniques to deal with its enormity. In response to these indexing needs and challenges, we propose a special session on Multimedia and Information Retrieval in an attempt to provide a forum for researchers to exchange the state-of-the-art knowledge and developments in this area. Topics of the proposed area cover, but not limited to, the following: � Content-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia � Semantic-based indexing, search, and retrieval of multimedia � Advanced descriptors and similarity metrics for multimedia � Learning and relevance feedback in multimedia retrieval/information � Ontologies for annotation and search of multimedia/information � Image/video summarization and visualization � Multimodal human computer interaction � Evaluation of multimedia/information retrieval systems � Query models, paradigms, and languages for multimedia/information retrieval � Database architectures for multimedia/information retrieval � Novel multimedia/information data management systems and applications � 3D images and models � Multimedia/information search and browsing on the Web � Applications in satellite, forensic, (bio-)medical image and video collections Paper Submission Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished manuscripts will be considered. Each paper must be within 4 pages in the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. Submission is done at http://bit.kuas.edu.tw/~iihmsp08/. Papers will be rigorously evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. The Conference Proceedings will be published by IEEE Press. Important Dates The deadline for paper submission: February 15, 2008 The date for notification: March 31, 2008 The date for camera-ready paper submission: April 30, 2008 Organisers and Chairs: Professor Zongmin Ma College of Information Science and Engineering Northeastern University, Shenyang 110004, China Email: mazongmin@ise.neu.edu.cn Dr. Chang-Tsun Li Associate professor Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, United Kingdom Email: ctli@dcs.warwick.ac.uk Personal Webpage: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~ctli
