* CALL FOR PAPERS *

The significant increase in the amount of digital video content (TV
channels in particular), and the diversification of broadcast
possibilities and storage devices, have recently given rise to the
emergence of many new services and novel TV program consumption schemes.
These new services are basically aimed at making TV content available to
users without any constraint on location and/or time. They would allow
users to directly find what they are looking for through powerful search
engines and human-machine interfaces. Examples of such services are
TV-on-demand, interactive TV, Network Personal Video Recorders, catch-up
TV, start-over, WebTVs...

The objective of the workshop is twofold. First, it aims at highlighting
the need for powerful and automatic audio and video content-based
techniques in building novel TV services. The second objective is to
bring in professionals and researchers, and to present the recent
advances in the field. The workshop will also be open to research works
on processing content collected from radio broadcasts. Important
added-value services may be built on top of radio content.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    * TV stream structuring
    * Content-based audio/video analysis of TV content
    * TV program classification
    * Events of interest detection in TV/radio streams
    * Search engines for TV/radio streams
    * Thematic and semantic clustering of TV programs
    * TV program summarization
    * TV program structure modeling
    * Advanced human machine interfaces for browsing and retrieving
TV/radio content
    * Metadata extraction and mining from TV content
    * Low level video/audio feature extraction
    * Duplicate video/audio detection
    * Video and audio fingerprinting/watermarking
    * Audio processing tools for radio content analysis and indexing
    * Novel services and use-cases for making use of TV and radio
streams

The workshop will be held in conjunction with ISM 2010 in Taichung,
Taiwan, on December 13-15, 2010. It solicits regular technical papers of
up to 6 pages (IEEE double-column format). Workshop papers will be
official publications of IEEE which will be included in IEEEXplore and
also be available as printed workshop proceedings.

* PAPER SUBMISSION *
Papers must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other
conference or journal. Papers should be submitted in electronic form as
PDF files. Submissions must be formatted according to the 8.5x11 inch
double column IEEE CS proceedings format and must not exceed 6 pages.
Workshop papers will be official publications of IEEE which will be
included in IEEEXplore and also be printed as part of the conference
proceedings.
Papers must be submitted electronically through the CBTV 2010 Easychair
site (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbtv10)
