Huge amounts of multimedia data are increasingly available and the
knowledge of spatial and/or temporal phenomena becomes critical for
many applications, which requires techniques for the processing,
analysis, search, mining, and management of multimedia data. The
Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Information
Processing and Retrieval (IEEE-MIPR 2011) will take place Dana Point,
California, USA on December 5-7, 2011, in conjunction with IEEE
International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2011). The workshop will
provide a forum for original research contributions and practical
system design, implementation, and applications of multimedia
information processing and retrieval. The target audiences will be
university researchers, scientists, industry professionals, software
engineers and graduate students who need to become acquainted with new
theories and technologies in multimedia information processing and
retrieval.

Selected submissions will be chosen to be submitted as full papers for
a special issue for the International Journal of Multimedia Data
Engineering and Management (IJMDEM).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- content-based retrieval (image, video, audio, etc.)
- multimodal data analysis
- relevance feedback
- multimedia databases
- image/video/audio databases
- multimedia data mining
- multimedia data modeling
- multimedia data indexing
- multimedia data storage
- new standards
- network support for multimedia data
- distributed multimedia systems
- applications


Instructions for Authors:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on the
above and related topics are solicited. All submitted papers will be
refereed for quality, originality and relevance by the Program
Committee. The acceptance/rejection of the papers will be based on the
review results. All questions should be addressed to the PC chairs.

An electronic version (PDF format) of the full paper should be
submitted by the paper submission deadline to the workshop website (http://mipr11.cis.fiu.edu). Papers
must be prepared in such a way that ensures they will print
anywhere. Thus, you should avoid using special fonts. Manuscripts must
be in English and should not exceed 5,000 words (approximately 6
double-column pages).

Important Dates:
    Full Paper Submission Deadline:    July 31, 2011 (PDF format)
    Notification of Results:            August 20, 2011
    Camera Ready Copies:            September 7, 2011
