Proposals are invited for the tutorial program of the 2nd International Conference on Semantics And Digital Media Technology (SAMT 2007), to be held 5th-7th December 2007, in Genova, Italy. Tutorials will be held on 5th December 2007.

Goals
The purpose of the tutorial program is to provide an audience of both postgraduate students and senior researchers with a comprehensive overview of the latest research in the complementary fields of multimedia analysis and the Semantic Web, with emphasis on cross-disciplinary approaches. Tutorials should provide the audience with the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the important challenges to be addressed in these traditionally disparate fields, and thereby provide motivation for future interdisciplinary research. We seek high quality proposals for tutorials on topics including but not limited to:
> Multimedia and the Semantic Web
> Multimedia analysis and ontology-based annotations
> Knowledge-based, context aware inference for semantic multimedia analysis
> Scalable multimedia semantic metadata representation and content transmission
> Semantic adaptation, personalization and retrieval for multimedia

Submitting a Proposal
Tutorial proposals can be submitted in any format (PDF, Word, text). Proposals should be no more than 2 pages in length and should contain the following information (note that tutorials will be 1/2 day long):
> The title and a brief technical description of the tutorial, outlining the goals and the technical content it targets.
> A brief description of why and to whom the tutorial is of interest, i.e. the target audience.
> A list of related tutorials/courses/lectures held in the last 3 years, or to be held in 2007.
> The contact information (web page & email address) of the proposed organizers and a short bio for each highlighting relevant experience.
Tutorial attendees will be required to pay the SAMT 2007 tutorial registration fee, in addition to the standard conference registration fee. Please send your proposals by 21st May 2007 and any inquiries by email to Noel O’Connor (oconnorn@eeng.dcu.ie).
