Aims of the MMM Conference
The world is inherently complex and multimedia in nature. Recent advances in computing, networking and multimedia technologies have facilitated the construction of large and complex multimedia systems. To fully comprehend the complexity of such undertakings, proper modelling of multimedia information and systems must be carried out.
The models should address three important aspects of multimedia systems -- systems and technologies, contents and users.
At systems and technology level, the model provides high-level abstractions of systems, and permits the desirable properties of the system to be extracted and analysed. It thus facilitates the development of uniform framework for integrating different systems, and for supporting effective interactions between the system and human users
The model for the information contents supports the processing of information at semantic level and enables the media to be active, in which the users may interact and manipulate the media contents directly to carry out high-level tasks such as the retrieval of additional information or the control of real-world entities.
The model for users captures the interactions between the systems and the users. This includes the use of systems to retrieve information, and the use of tools to create contents.
MMM conference series aims to provide a forum to discuss the effective modelling of multimedia systems, information and users. The theme is modelling. In particular, it will discuss the efficient representation, processing, interaction, integration and retrieval of multimedia information, systems and users, and the associated issues.
The conference is organized under the umbrella of the Computer Graphics Society. It is targeted at researchers, academia, software and application developers and information technologists in the field of multimedia, modelling and their applications.
