Smart mobile devices like camera phones are true “multimedia”
devices capable of managing acquisition, processing, transmission, and
presentation of multiple modal data such as image, video, audio and
text information. They are also ubiquitous social networking
devices. Recent rapid development of mobile hardware, wireless
network, and cloud computing creates an urgent demand on intelligent
and scalable multimedia computing technologies and systems for mobile
devices. Multiple sensors, high-resolution screen, more powerful CPU,
3G Internet access, and cloud computing are all necessary enabling
technologies to this end. In particular, cloud computing provides
powerful supports on computation, storage and networking, which are
essential for realizing scalable mobile multimedia applications. The
motivation of this workshop is to timely address the challenges and
opportunities in applying advanced multimedia technology, cloud
computing, pattern recognition, signal processing, user interface, and
graphics techniques to mobile systems, given the proliferating market
of mobile and portable devices that have been widely spreading in both
consumer (e.g. smart phones, music/video player, mobile TV, and
digital cameras) and enterprise markets (e.g. medical, control,
surveillance, etc.). The focus of this workshop is on bringing
together relevant researchers to explore intelligent multimedia
technologies and applications for mobile devices, especially to
leverage the emerging media cloud computing platform. The proposed
scope of this workshop includes, but not limited to, the following
areas:

   
* Mobile multimedia experience sharing, archiving, indexing,
    management and retrieval
* Mobile augmented reality
* Mobile
    vision
* Mobile video games
* Mobile multimodal interfaces
*   Mobile multimedia search (visual, aural and multimodality)
*   Mobile multimedia computing for communication and social
    networking
* Mobile and smart environment applications for the
    visually/aurally impaired
* Mobile e-Health
* Interactive
    image/video/audio parsing/annotation/analysis
* Computational
    methods for multiple sensor fusion
* Multimedia management,
    browsing, visualization, and authoring on mobile devices
    (with/without cloud)
* Surveillance, biometric, authentication and
    security technologies in mobile and cloud environment
* Mobile
    content delivery/video streaming
* Mobile navigation, content
    retrieval, authentication
* Personalization, navigation and
    recommender systems in mobile and cloud environment
* Mobile
    oriented media processing for communication, networking and search
   
* Entertainment applications in mobile and cloud environment
*   Mobile multimedia information forensics
* Other “mobile +
    cloud” multimedia technologies, applications and systems
