Multimedia and the Cloud 2017 and
Multimedia Streaming in Information-/Content-Centric Networks (MuSIC)
Workshop held in conjunction with ICME 2017
Monday, July 10, 2017, 8:15AM - 12:30PM Call for papers
Subject Areas: Multimedia Cloud and Big Data
The proliferation of cloud computing and storage infrastructure as well cloud services provides a rich platform for multimedia researchers and developers to innovate new applications and services which would not have been possible before. For example, video streaming of high-definition content has now reached a fairly mature state. However, going forward we will only see an increase in multimedia applications which will require assistance from the cloud for multimedia processing and delivery. Examples include 3D content (stereo vision, 360° virtual reality), interactive content, server-assisted multi-party conferencing and gaming, and large-scale visual recognition. Microsoft Azure’s Cognitive Services APIs and Google Cloud’s Vision, Speech, and NLP APIs are just beginning to scratch the surface of what will be possible when multimedia meets the cloud. In addition, the proliferation of mobile devices which need assistance from the cloud for multimedia applications keeps increasing. Also, the number of applications utilizing big data keeps increasing. In this workshop, we aim to provide a forum for research which includes both multimedia services (recognition, processing, coding, delivery) running in the cloud, multimedia applications which utilize the cloud, and big data multimedia applications.
High quality research in all areas related to multimedia and the cloud are solicited. Potential topics of interest are the following.
Cloud-assisted multimedia content ingestion, processing, coding, storage, and delivery
Multi-party conferencing and gaming
Multimedia big data processing
Interactive client-server multimedia applications
Cloud-assisted virtual reality and augmented reality applications
Multimedia recognition in the cloud and hybrid cloud/device recognition
Multimedia social applications and content sharing utilizing the cloud
Cloud resource management issues specific to multimedia
Privacy / access control for cloud hosted multimedia content
Mobile multimedia cloud applications and stream analytics
