Pervasive or ubiquitous computing defines a new paradigm of computing
for 21st century as a result of ubiquity of computing beyond the
mainframe and personal computers and advances of the media sensing,
computing and usage along with the developments and applications of
communication and networking. Traditional multimedia computing in
pervasive computing environments faces new challenges in increasing
number of ubiquitous media devices, media types, media content and
semantic modeling, analysis and processing, media management, usage and
services.

The Workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and industry
practitioners to share their research experience, original results and
practical developments on the specific challenges and emerging issues
in pervasive or ubiquitous media computing.

PerMedia2010 covers all media related fundamentals, theories, models,
technologies and applications in pervasive/ubiquitous systems and
environments. The technical program will consist of invited speech,
paper presentations and panel discussions.

The PerMedia2010 topics include but are not limited to the followings:

- Fundamentals and challenges of per-media
- Architecture and infrastructure for per-media
- Per-media input devices in ubiquitous/pervasive systems
- Environment-centric media in ubiquitous/pervasive systems
- Media communication and networking in ubiquitous/pervasive systems
- Server and service technologies for per-media
- Per-media database and content management
- Per-media indexing and retrieval
- Per-media content modeling and analysis
- Media context awareness in ubiquitous/pervasive systems
- Smart and intelligent media computing in ubiquitous/pervasive systems
- Per-media semantics and modeling
- Per-media data and knowledge mining
- Security, privacy, trust and safety issues for per-media
- Per-media user interfaces
- Per-media services and applications

Paper Preparation, Submission and Publication
---------------------------------------------

Prospective authors are invited to submit an electronic verson of
full papers in PDF format (not exceeding 6 pages) according to
two-column formatting of IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing
Services. All papers are submitted as per the instructions on the
Workshop website. Each paper will receive at least 3 peer reviews.
At least one author should register for the workshop at full rate for
the inclusion of the paper in the proceedings and is expected to present
their work at the Workshop.

The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
(indexed by EI).
