SS1: Semantic Digital Libraries for Cross-Discipline Retrieval

The Special Session on "Semantic Digital Libraries for Cross-Discipline Retrieval" aims at discussing the current bottlenecks and out-of-the-box ideas in the field of Multimedia Information Retrieval. Although, recent developments in multimedia analysis have resulted in a variety of tools for knowledge extraction from a particular content domain the topic of cross-discipline analysis has been relatively unexplored. Hence there is an emerging interest to exploit the technological developments in media analysis in research communitiesÕ alien to computing such historical study of science and technology. The special session provides an ideal opportunity for researchers tired of "yet another incremental paper in the field" to illustrate novel techniques inspired on approaches from other fields of science or disciplines which may appear alien to signal processing and computer vision technologies.

SS2: Interactive Multimedia in Social Networks

The emerging social networking techniques have introduced enormous impact on nowadays network interactions. At the same time, promising methods have been employed to effectively integrate context and content for multimedia mining, management, indexing, retrieval and video coding in social networks. In addition, increasing service requirements by multimedia consumers inspire rapid developments on interactive interface design and adaptive visualisation. With these developments, extensive research has been carried out on multimedia content production and sharing in P2P/social networks. The aim of this special session is to present the most recent technological and scientific achievements in this scope, in order to analyse the potential of the new technologies in networked media associated with social networking.
