organised in conjunction with NEM Summit 2011 - click here fore more info
The NEM initiative is pleased to announce that the “Search Computing and Social Media Workshop” will be organised by the projects Petamedia, Chorus+ and Glocal in
collocation with the NEM Summit 2011 on September 28, 2011 (11:30 –
16:30) at the Politecnico di Torino in Torino (Italy)
The workshop about “Search Computing and Social Media” presents
cutting-edge search computing solutions that have been developed to
provide users with access to networked media and in particular, social
multimedia. It will showcase new techniques and applications have been
developed in European research laboratories and focus on those solutions
that are ripe for industry application.
The opening talk presents a vision on the area of search computing
entitled “Search Computing: Business Areas, Research and Socio-Economic
Challenges”. Then, a selection of leading researchers will present
highlights and applications from a range of areas important for search
and social media search.
The afternoon session will concentrate on the “Triple Synergy”, the
combination of multimedia content, user-derived annotations and the
structures of peer-to-peer and social networks. The Triple Synergy is
deployed in order to improve user access (including search,
recommendation, browsing and discovery) to multimedia online and in
social communities. Here, the PetaMedia Network of Excellence will
present multimedia applications that it has developed within the
framework of its field trials.
The workshop will close with a panel that takes a critical look at
the future of multimedia search, and in particular investigates the
question of the contribution that search computing can make to
innovation within the area of social media.

ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR) - www.icmr2011.org
The First ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR), puts together the long-lasting experience of former ACM CIVR and ACM MIR. It is the ideal forum to present and encounter the most recent developments and pplications in the area of multimedia content retrieval. Originally set up to illuminate the state-of-the-art in image and video retrieval, ICMR aims at becoming the world reference event in this exciting field of research, where researchers and ractitioners can exchange knowledge and ideas.
