ICME Workshops should be “clearly focused” and facilitating
active discussions and constructive interactions on current or
emerging topics of interest. They should allow members of the
community to compare and discuss approaches, methods, and new concepts
on research topics pertinent to the main conference. These topics
often offer emerging interests to the multimedia research community or
bridge the community with other areas.

Workshop proposals for ICME 2011 should include: 

- The title, goals of the workshop; 
- The specific topics that will be addressed by the workshop; 
- The relevance and significance of this workshop to the main conference; 
- The history of the workshop if it is not the first version;
- A draft workshop call for papers with: 

1. The names, affiliations, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses 
of the workshop organizers, who should be experts in the related topics 
and preferably from multiple institutions; 
2. The paper selection process; 
3. A list of potential Program Committee members and their affiliations. 

Workshop proposals should not exceed 3 pages and should be submitted
to the Workshop Chairs, Abdulmotaleb El Saddik (elsaddik AT
