IEEE Transactions on Multimedia
Special Issue on Communities and Media Computing
----------------------------------------------------------
With the emergence of large scale social network communities such as
flickr, myspace and youtube, we are witnessing media use and
production on an unprecedented scale. The purpose of this special
issue is to address the technical challenges that emerge through the
use of media in large user communities. Communities who use media as
part of a network can impact content analysis (e.g. detection of
emergent semantics), multimedia systems (e.g. network optimization
due to knowledge of relationships among people) and application
research (e.g. novel group authoring). Ubiquitous use of multimedia
can also impact the way communities form. We believe that a
systematic analysis of community-generated media will reveal new
insights about how people interact – social dynamics, the evolution
of topics and trends, groups and communities. We believe that the
research can reveal new synergies between multimedia content, systems
and application research areas and computational social analy!
sis. The focus of this special issue shall be novel computational
aspects of shared media among multiple people
The IEEE Transactions on Multimedia invites submissions to a special
issue on Communities and Media Computing. Topics of interests
include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Personalized, community-aware multimedia annotation and analysis
* Modeling personal and collective context, as well as knowledge
* Models for evolutionary community and knowledge dynamics
* User interfaces for community-based media computing
* Emergence of new semantics – frameworks for discovery
* Fundamental issues relating to concept learnability and concept
scalability.
* Community centric multimedia services and applications
* Fundamental system challenges due to very large scale media
collectives, including encoding and peer-to-peer distribution
* Structure of social networks and its influence on information
dissemination
* Understanding real-world social network and communities based on
multimedia understanding or communication analysis
