It is also the first time that this workshop takes place in a location outside Europe, which will promote interaction between researchers from different origins. The workshop will cover a wide range of current subjects with a special focus on issues related with Multimedia in Mobile and Augmented Environments. These include approaches for mobile multimedia, using video in mobile devices, using the physical world to present multimedia information, and other context aware applications. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mobile Multimedia Context Aware Interactive Multimedia Interactive Video Audio and Video in Augmented Environments Multimodal Interaction Ubiquitous Media Broadband Personal Interfaces Auditory Interfaces Audio/Image/Video Processing Content Analysis Media Databases and Search Engines Content Based Retrieval Media Information Retrieval on the Web Delivery of Multimedia Data Media Web Servers and Services Video Coding and Description Standards Multimedia Document Metaphors Authoring Paradigms Media Integration Augmented Reality Storytelling Environments Applications: Entertainment, Learning, etc. Submission Procedure -------------------- Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, in the Eurographics Conference Paper Format. Detailed guidelines will be available at the EG Multimedia 2004 Workshop Site. Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line, through the Eurographics Digital Library, and in paper book form, in the Eurographics Book Series. Selection will be based upon technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Workshop Format --------------- The workshop will be held in two days, including paper presentation tracks and discussion plenary sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. The workshop will take place just after the ICIG'2004 Conference (Oct. 23-25, 2004, Hong Kong, China, http://www.cad.zju.edu.cn/icig2004). The workshop will be co-located with a conference on Digital Media and Digital Cities. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at these events. Venue and Fee ------------- The workshop will be held at Nanjing University, China. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that includes a workshop proceedings book (printed by Eurographics Press), coffee breaks, and a social event in the first evening of the Workshop. Nanjing University is located in the Nanjing City, the Capital of Jiangsu Province. Present day Nanjing, with tens of universities and hundreds of high-tech companies, ranks fifth among the "50 strongest" of Chinese cities. It is a transport and telecommunications hub in East China, and the second largest international trade port after Shanghai in the Yangzi River Delta. Comprehensive information about Nanjing, traveling and accommodation will be available at the workshop Web page.
