IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
Special Section on Data and Knowledge Management in Multimedia Systems
Emerging multimedia information technologies will allow users to
store, retrieve, share, and manipulate complex information which are
expected be used for building exciting new applications. Development
of such applications to a mature and fruitful stage will require
substantial changes in our approach to the design of operating
systems, databases and storage systems. Most multimedia applications
will use some form of pre-orchestrated stored information. Such
applications include video-on-demand, digital libraries, virtual
reality, on-line education and training, CAD/CAM, etc. The stored
nature of the information poses a number of challenges and can allow
novel techniques in the management and representation of multimedia
data and knowledge. Potentially promising areas include data
organization and integration, indexing and retrieval mechanisms,
intelligent searching techniques, information browsing, content-based
query processing, handling of heterogeneity and variety of multimedia
data, and so forth.
In this special section of the TKDE, we focus on data and knowledge management
issues arising in future multimedia information systems.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Knowledge-Based Representation of Multimedia Information
- Semantic Modeling
- Content-Based Retrieval
- Indexing, Searching and Browsing
- Knowledge-based Query
- Algorithms for Managing Multimedia Data and Knowledge
- Distributed Data and Knowledge-Bases
- Experimental Systems
- Applications
