Call for papers CBMI 2017 - La Rochelle, France 4-6 Sept 2018
International Conference on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing
(Main submission deadline May 04, 2018)

CBMI aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of
content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and
analytics.

After 15 successful editions of the CBMI workshop, the event is now becoming a conference
whose next edition will be held in La Rochelle, France.
The scientific program will include invited keynote talks and regular, special and demo
sessions.

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished research papers in the broad
field of content-based multimedia indexing and applications. We wish to highlight
significant contributions addressing the main problem of search and retrieval but also
the related and equally important issues of multimedia content management, user
interaction, large-scale search, learning in retrieval, social media indexing and
retrieval. Additional special sessions are planned in areas such as deep learning for
retrieval, social media retrieval, cultural heritage, surveillance and security.

The CBMI proceedings are traditionally indexed and distributed by IEEE Xplore and ACM DL.
In addition, authors of the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit
extended versions of their contributions to a special issue ofMultimedia Tools and
Applications journal (MTAP,
http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems+and+applications/journal/11042).
