Call For Papers

In recent years, we have witnessed a growing number of user-centric multimedia applications, especially with the popularity of the Web 2.0. Examples include Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, etc. This initial movement has gained enormous momentum in recent years and spread largely to communicate online in digital social networks. These emerging applications on social web and social networks have produced some new type of multimedia content, which is termed as “social media”, that is created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. Social multimedia is the media that is used as a means for communication in social networks.

This workshop will continue a successful first Workshop on Social Media 2009 and form a platform for the continued discussion of the key research issues in social multimedia. Unlike conventional multimedia data, social media contains much rich user-generated information, which is particularly critical to resolving the long-standing challenge toward multimedia understanding. This new media also introduces many challenging and new research issues and as well as many exciting real-world applications (e.g. large-scale social image and video analysis and retrieval). This workshop solicits contributions on various aspects of social media. In particular, workshop papers will elaborate related theory, methodology, algorithms and issues associated to social media content creation, manipulation, content analysis, storage, search, learning and mining
