Workshop on

Intelligent Multimedia Processing for Ubiquitous Applications

In conjunction with the IEEE SUTC2008

IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing

June 11-13, 2008 Taichung, Taiwan

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

 

Aims and Scope

With the recent advances in image/video coding, speech/audio compression, networking and mobile computer power, ubiquitous access to the Internet multimedia has become a popular demand. The multimedia processing for ubiquitous applications is a science which brings together image/video coding, speech/audio compression, database systems, artificial intelligence, and etc. This workshop will cover a wide range of current subjects with a special focus on issues related with multimedia processing in mobile and ubiquitous environments. We aim to solicit papers that address the technical challenges in intelligent multimedia processing for ubiquitous applications. Through the workshop, we expect to bring together experts in analysis of ubiquitous applications, state-of-art multimedia coding techniques and mobile computing in multimedia.
