Call for Participation
1st Winter School on Multimedia Processing and Applications (WMPA 2014)
Dublin, Ireland, January 6-8, 2014, Co-located with the MMM 2014
Conference (http://mmm2014.org/)
WMPA 2014 school's web page: http://winterschool.mediamixer.eu/
==========================================================================================
WMPA 2014 aims at offering Masters and PhD students and junior
researchers from all over the world training on the latest technological
developments in the area of multimedia processing (media analysis, media
annotation, media rights management) and of emerging multimedia
applications (in the Sensor Web, audiovisual archives, TV broadcasting,
digital preservation and e-learning domains).
The school will combine delivering in-depth lectures with giving to its
participants the possibility for gaining hands-on experience on the use
of new multimedia processing techniques (e.g. media fragment annotation
and re-use technologies), and on the effectiveness, privacy etc. issues
that may arise. The latest R&D in EU funded projects and latest insights
from experts in the industry domains which stand to benefit from these
new technologies will help students to appreciate the state of the art
and future chances for industry adoption. The school will also support
the close interaction between the students and all participants of the
MMM’14 conference; among other possibilities, all school’s students will
have the chance to bring a poster describing their current research work
and present it in a joint winter school – MMM’14 poster session.
