Abstract

It is our great pleasure to organize a joint special issue in the Journal of Multimedia on selected outstanding papers from The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Information Processing and Retrieval (MIPR2008) and The First IEEE International Workshop on Data Semantics for Multimedia Systems and Applications (DSMSA2008), held in conjunction with The IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2008) from December 15-17, 2008 in Berkeley, California, USA. The goal of MIPR2008 is to provide a forum for original research contributions and practical system design, implementation, and applications of multimedia information processing and retrieval. The goal of DSMSA2008 is to bring the semantic web community and multimedia computing community together and provide a forum for multidisciplinary research opportunities, with a focus on how to apply the Semantic Web technologies to the acquisition, generation, transmission, storage, and processing of multimedia information. These two workshops share the common goal of seeking high quality research contributions on multimedia information representation, analysis, retrieval and delivery, as well as practical solutions for the design and implementation of multimedia information management system.
Among the papers presented in MIPR2008 and DSMSA2008, six papers were selected for inclusion in this special issue. The authors were asked to extend and revise their original workshop articles, and then each paper was reviewed by three referees. We are in great honor to accept the following papers:
