Rich Media

New challenges in browsing, indexing, and retrieval have emerged due to the popularity of sites such as Flickr and YouTube that enable users to store, share and find rich media data such as video, images, audio, and music. The volume of rich media being transmitted and searched for on the Internet surpassed that of text due to the phenomenal amount of user generated content. The use of rich media by Enterprises has increased as well with corporate podcasts, multimedia training and recorded communications. Rendering this rich media searchable and bridging the multimedia semantic gap is a blend of content analysis and meta-data, ranging from contextual information to user generated tags, comments, and ratings. Management of rich media data is essential to support effective index and search and to ensure efficient bandwidth utilization. This rich media track encourages contributions dealing with Web-scale media-data management on the following relevant topics:

• Indexing and retrieval of Web rich-media content
• Tagging of rich-media data
• Context-capture of rich-media data
• Scalable machine learning and data mining techniques for media data analysis
• Applications of Web rich media: biomedicine, education,
  entertainment, animation, art, cultural studies, Enterprise
  communications, customer service, etc.
• User interfaces, multi-modal interaction, virtual environments
• Rich media systems: capture, recording, protocols, content delivery, integration, convergence (across media), interoperability (of contextual data) correlation (across media types), synchronization, wireless, authoring, capture, recording, etc.
• Storage, retrieval of multimedia interactions vs. content
• Rich Media Semantic Computing
