------------------------------------- Updates --------------------------------------------------------

We are pleased to annouce the following exciting updates for WIAMIS 2012:

Third keynote speaker added:
- Prof. Mubarak Shah, University of Central Florida, "Multimedia Event Detection"
- Dr. Aljoscha Smolic, Disney Research Zurich, "Content Creation for Stereoscopic 3D and Beyond"
- Prof. Tat-Seng Chua, National University of Singapore, "Learning the Social Pulse of a City from User-generated Content" (title TBC)

Industry and end-user panel sessions:
We are planning two vibrant and interactive panel sessions facilitating debate on key issues of interest to the research community as a whole. One of these panel sessions will focus on audio-visual archives bringing an end-user perspective, the other on industry requirements for 3D technologies. Keep checking the WIAMIS web site and more details will be made available in the near future.

WIAMIS 2012 is Technically Co-Sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society. All accepted and registered papers will be published in the workshop proceedings which will be indexed and distributed by IEEExplore.
