-----------------------------------------
As research and development efforts intensify in different areas
of multimedia computing, Multimedia Database Management Systems (MMDBMS)
have increasing attracted the attention of many research and development
efforts in industry and academia. It has become evident that the efficient
realization of Multimedia Information Processing depends on the ability
to access and manipulate multimedia objects at different levels of
granularity. This can be sufficiently and adequately achieved by multimedia
database management systems.
IW-MMDBMS'98 is an international technical forum for active researchers
and practitioners who are involved in various aspects of multimedia database
management issues. The workshop will emphasize the issues relevant to
analysing, designing, developing, applying, and utilizing MMDBMSs.
The paper presentations, panel, and working group discussions will
address the following issues (and more) as they relate to MMDBMSs:
- Multi-Media Database Modelling
- Decomposition/Organization Strategies
- Storage Structures and Techniques
- Distributed Multimedia DBMS
- Multimedia Database Applications
- Multimedia Data Transmission
- Multimedia Network Protocols and Infrastructures
- Query Language Designs, Specifications, and Optimizations
- Retrieval/Search Techniques/Strategies/Algorithms
- Access Methods, Browsing, and Indexing Techniques
- Multimedia Data Synchronization
- QoS Delivery/Presentation Issues
- Image Processing (Storage, Retrieval, etc.)
- Conventional Database Compatibility Issues
- Operating Systems Implications
- System, Schema, and Functional Architectures
- Meta-data Management
- Performance Evaluation
- Access Security Issues
- Object-Oriented Paradigms
Information for Authors:
========================
Authors are invited to submit papers where each paper should not exceed
25 double-spaced pages, including figures, pictures, etc.
Each paper must include an abstract of about 200 words.
Previously published papers will not be considered. Each author must
clearly describe the nature of the work, significant contributions to
the body of work, the novel features, and its current status.
Each paper will consist of two postscript files: one which contains the
the full name, affiliation, phone numbers, e-mail address, and full
mailing address of each author and also a contact author in the case
of multiple authors; the other will be the full paper itself.
If a paper is accepted, the author(s) are expected to prepare the final
manuscript, as requested, in time for inclusion in the workshop proceedings
The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Press.
