Call for Posters and Demos

The second international conference on Semantics And digital Media Technology (SAMT) aims at narrowing the large disparity between the low-level descriptors that can be computed automatically from multimedia content and the richness and subjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretations of audiovisual media - The Semantic Gap.

Besides the scientific paper track, SAMT 2007 solicits project poster and demo contributions that will be presented in special sessions during the conference, giving the opportunity to present ongoing research. Objectives or results of active projects, initiatives or standardization activities, reports on systems under development, or descriptions of completed work are all welcome.

The Demo session is intended to provide a showcase for innovative implementations, systems, and technologies related to semantic multimedia. In principle, posters may be backed up with demos, and vice versa. Contributions will be evaluated based on significance of results, relevance to SAMT and expected impact. Posters and Demos are intended to convey a scientific result or work in progress and not to advertise software packages!

Submission

Authors must submit by email to samt07-poster-demo@ge.imati.cnr.it up to two-page short abstract for evaluation. Only submissions in PDF format are acceptable. Papers should be formatted according to IEEE Proceedings style. Authors should specify if the submission will be presented as a demo, a poster, or both, and clearly indicate whether the submission concerns a project (if so, they should specify the project).

Decisions about acceptance will be based on relevance to the SAMT topics, originality, potential significance and clarity.

Authors submitting a paper to the scientific track in SAMT 2007 may also submit the same work for consideration in the poster and demo track, either before or after acceptance notification for the full paper.

Poster and Demo papers will be published in separate proceedings and will be handed out to all participants of SAMT.
