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 9th IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Information Processing and Retrieval (IEEE-MIPR 2013) will take place in Anaheim, California USA on December 9-11, 2013, in conjunction with IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2013). 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
