CALL FOR PAPERS
DEXA Workshop on Query Processing in Multimedia Information Systems
(QPMIDS)
1-2 September 1997
in conjunction with 8th International Conference DEXA97 Toulouse, France
1 Description
The QPMIDS workshop seeks to bring together distributed multimedia
information systems researchers and developers from these fields to
assess the state of the art and practice in solving real-time multimedia
query processing problems, to identify solution techniques and
algorithms, and to introduce promising future research directions.
The topics of the workshop cover advanced multimedia computing
technologies where new approaches to support on-line accesses to
information are needed. Client-server distributed multimedia systems are
a practical approach to support heterogeneous data management (video
clips, audio, images, and books). The kinds of data referred to by
'multimedia data' expand. Still images, texts, and books were included
in this category, several years ago. Recently, moving pictures,
especially video, audio, as well as 3D objects in virtual realities are
added in the list. As a first issue, modeling these kinds of data is
necessary for storing, retrieving, and editing these data adequately.
The second issue is concerned with quality of transfer of these data
through networks. The data and users are distributed over computer
networks and real-time data transfer is required. So good quality
transfer of data among them is needed. The third issue is the system
architecture issue. Current systems are insufficient to support the
management of multimedia data owning to their time-sampled nature.
Problems such as data placement, buffer management, admission control
and load balancing still exist. The extension of the database systems to
support distributed multimedia applications thus require new mechanisms
to ensure the synchronized presentation of multimedia data exchanges.
