on
MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS, SERVICES & SECURITY
http://mcss2010.indect-project.eu/
May, 6th and 7th 2010, Krakow, Poland
Aims and Goals of the Conference
In recent years, Multimedia Communications, Services and Security have been contributing extensively to our life experience and are expected to be among the most important applications in the future. The objective of the Multimedia Communications, Services & Security (MCSS´10) conference is to present research and developing activities contributing to aspects of multimedia communications, systems and security. We are inviting both theoretical and experimental papers as well as work-in-progress research. The main topics of interest are as follows:
-
Audio-visual systems including novel multimedia architectures/platforms and management of service oriented architectures
-
Multimedia and data fusion in personal, sensor, peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks
-
Acquisition of multimedia content and Quality of Experience management in content distribution networks
-
Seamless mobility of multimedia services including mobile and broadband wireless access networks
-
Watermarking technology and applications
-
Network measurement/monitoring and performance evaluation of multimedia services
-
Reliability, availability and serviceability of multimedia services
-
Advanced searching methods, search engines and applications for multimedia database
-
Multimedia surveillance and compound security
-
Semantic description of multimedia data and metadata information systems
-
Intelligent monitoring of objects and areas, recognition with automatic categorization
-
Modern computing methods for multimedia systems and authentication of multimedia contents
-
Interactive multimedia applications
-
Ethical issues in video surveillance and Internet monitoring - systems and algorithms for safeguarding of information
-
Intelligent urban environment observation systems including safety monitoring and evacuation
-
Cybercrime – threats and counteracting
-
Object tracking and threat detection
-
Evaluation of security features in end-user applications
-
Experiments/lessons from recent deployments
Conference objectives are in conformance with objectives of the FP7 Security Research (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/security/home_en.html). During the conference, a presentation of the FP7 Security Research will be shown. Objectives of the FP7 Security Research are as follows:
-
To develop technologies for building capabilities needed to ensure the security of citizens from threats (terrorism, natural disasters, crime), while respecting human privacy,
-
To ensure optimal use of technologies to the benefit of civil European security,
-
To stimulate the cooperation for civil security solutions,
-
Improving the competitiveness of the European security industry, and
-
Delivering mission-oriented research results to reduce security gaps.
Parallel Poster/Demonstration Session
A parallel poster/demonstration session entitled “Demonstrations on Multimedia Communications, Services & Security” will be organised along with the main conference. This event encourages researchers to present and discuss the “work-in-progress” or “experience-in-practice” of their current studies/implementations and research prototypes which are conforming to that cover the topics of MCSS’10. Authors are invited to submit a short paper of up to 4 pages following the format of the conference. All accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings of MCSS’10.
Session on Intelligent Monitoring
Special session on intelligent monitoring, object tracking and threat detection will be organized along with the main conference.
Publication
Proceedings: MCSS´10 papers will be listed in the IEEE Xplore (pending).
Special Issue Journal Publication: Extended versions of best papers of the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of an international journal planned shortly after the conference (pending).
Best Paper Award
One best paper award, selected by the organizing committee, based on referee reviews, will be presented to the author(s) of the best paper submitted to the conference along with other awards presented during the social event.
Paper Submission, Conference Fee and Registration
Full papers reporting original and unpublished research results on MCSS´10 topics are solicited. Submissions must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated for this conference.
The maximum size of full papers should be 7 pages including tables and figures. The cover page should contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.
- How to submit: The paper submission for MCSS´10 will only be accepted through the online paper submission system accessible from the link on the website. Only papers in PDF will be accepted for reviewing. Submissions as e-mail attachment will not be accepted. A paper can be registered first and then uploaded at any time up to the paper submission deadline. To register or submit a paper, please visit http://indect-mcss.konferencja.org/registration.php.
- Reviewing: Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive rigorous peer reviewing. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance and clarity of presentation. Selection will be based on full papers. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers of the conference are expected to be presented and will be included in the conference proceedings.
