***************************

The FTRA 2nd International Workshop on Multimedia and Semantic Technologies
(MUST'11) aims at high quality research contributions in multimedia
semantic computing, with a focus on how to apply the semantic technologies
to the acquisition, generation, storage, processing, and retrieval of large-
scale multimedia information. A main goal of MUST is to address emerging
research challenges in Semantic Multimedia and to help reducing the
Semantic Gap between low-level content descriptions of multimedia and the
semantics in high-level human interpretations of audiovisual media.
Semantic Web and multimedia community researchers are encouraged to join
the workshop to benefit from the presentation of results from multimedia
based research, which demonstrate important multimedia applications which
could be enhanced by Semantic Web technologies.

MUST'11 will be held in conjunction with MUE 2011, in Crete, Greece, 28-30
June 2011. 

MUST'11 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that
address challenges of multimedia in general or in the context of specific
domains. 

The selected outstanding papers will be published in the following
Journals. 

@ Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP) - Springer (SCIE)

@ International Journal of Information Technology, Communications and
Convergence (IJITCC) - Inderscience

@ Journal of Convergence (JoC) - FTRA

@ Journal of Information Processing Systems (JIPS) - KIPS (KCIE)
