ISM 2012 Call for Workshop Proposals held in conjunction with IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2012) Irvine, CA, USA, December 10-12, 2012 http://ism.eecs.uci.edu/ISM2012/index.html The IEEE ISM2012 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the symposium. The workshops aim to explore focused interest areas and provide international forums for scientists, engineers, and computer users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results on hot topics of multimedia computing. Workshops for presenting papers from industrial companies and papers on implementations of systems and services are also welcome. It is expected that the proceedings of the workshop programs will be published together with the main symposium proceedings by IEEE CS Press. In general, a workshop takes one day, although multiple-day and half-day workshops are welcome. If you would like to organize a "one-day" workshop, 10 to 12 accepted papers and presentations would be necessary. The organizers of approved workshops are responsible for distributing the call-for-papers for their workshop, collecting submissions, conducting the paper review process, and deciding upon the final workshop program. Please note that the page limit is 6 pages in IEEE double-column format for workshop papers.
