*AMR 2010 - 8th International Workshop on Adaptive Multimedia Retrieval*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          August 17-18, 2010
                Johannes Kepler University - Linz, Austria

To improve today's retrieval tools and thus the overall satisfaction
of a user, it is necessary to develop intelligent methods that are able
to support the user in the search process, e.g. by providing additional
user adapted information about the search results as well as the data
collection itself and especially by adapting the retrieval tool to the
user's needs and interests.

The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas
between different research communities, to provide an overview of
current activities in this area and to point out connections between
the diverse involved research communities and research in AI.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop focuses especially on researchers that are working on
feature extraction techniques for multimedia, computer linguistic
approaches, (dynamic) data analysis methods, and visualization methods
as well as user interface design. Therefore, contributions to the
workshop should focus on, but are not limited to:

- Multimedia retrieval systems (for text, image, audio, video and
  mixed-media)
- Theoretical foundations of multimedia retrieval and mining
- Intelligent multimedia data modelling, indexing and structure
  extraction
- Adaptive Hypermedia and web based systems
- Metadata for multimedia retrieval
- Multimedia and multi-modal mining
- Semantic content analysis for multimedia
- Semantic web and ontologies
- Adaptive query languages
- Similarity measures (especially user adaptive measures)
- User and preference modelling (including feedback models)
- Methods for adaptive data visualization and user interfaces
