The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends,
specify open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new
research in the broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing
together researchers working on educational multimedia with multimedia
educators, we want to establishan open discussion on these issues and create a reference for future research in this area.
The goal of the CVDB workshop series is to foster inter-disciplinary work between the areas of computer vision (and, generally speaking, multimedia processing) and databases (often with a touch of human-computer interaction). We have observed that few researchers in the computer vision community are adopting any of the (multidimensional) indexing schemes that have been designed by database researchers. Furthermore, while new and exciting techniques are being developed by computer vision researchers, database researchers are often unaware of such work.
The reason is that, unfortunately, there has been a great gap between the computer vision and database communities. The goal of the CVDB workshop series is to bridge this gap. The idea is to provide database researchers with a snapshot of what computer vision people are dealing with and vice-versa, with the aim of defining research directions that can benefit both communities
Media technologies are currently facing challenges and opportunities arising from a number of trends: Under the Web 2.0 umbrella, social aspects of software are gaining importance, and a new focus on simplicity in user interface design is taking hold. New display devices (e.g. e-paper) and client software
(e.g. geo-browsers), will revolutionize the production and consumption of media products such as newspapers. At the same time, semantic technologies are maturing to the point where their broad adoption becomes almost inevitable. In conjunction with new media, semantic technologies and social software catalyze virtual communities by matching people of similar interests, browsing behavior, or geographic location.
Acknowledging these fundamental changes, traditional media companies, new media start-ups and academics are cooperating to shape the future of media technology, to make the most of text, audio and video assets. I-MEDIA brings these actors together.

user's needs and interests.
The goals of the workshop are to intensify the exchange of ideas
between different research communities, to provide an overview of
current activities in this area and to point out connections between
the diverse involved research communities and research in AI.

The overall objective of the workshop is to investigate the current practice of multimedia metadata for contextualized ubiquitous, accessible and interoperable services on a higher semantic level, e.g. in collaborative working environments. We concentrate on the development of services and test beds for MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 based services, but also contributions related to other multimedia metadata description standards are welcome. The majority of multimedia metadata description standards in use is based on XML. This has important consequences on the development of services and test beds on the database, the infrastructure and the interface level. We are encouraging especially contributions from interested research groups from the database, the web service and the web 2.0 area.

Due to its potential to make learning easier, more convenient, and more
effective, education is one of the preeminent areas of applications for
multimedia.
With the present amounts of educational data produced, there is a
high demand in techniques and methods capable of handling multimedia
contents adequately. Educational content has to be presented, deployed,
navigated, searched, retrieved, edited, combined, and reused in a
proper way.
Most of these topics involve techniques from artificial intelligence,
computer vision, multimedia, but also human computer interaction,
and psychology. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers
who are interested in this intersection area between the technological
point of view and the human-centered view.
