*Call for Special Sessions at the 21st International Conference on Content-
Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2024)*


*CBMI 2024* is calling for high quality Special Sessions addressing
innovative research in content-based multimedia indexing and its related
broad fields. Special session papers will supplement the regular research
papers and be included in the proceedings of the conference. The
proceedings will be published by ACM. The state-of-the-art research
outcomes in challenging multimedia topics are highly welcome, with a
particular focus in highly impactful applications:
● Multimedia information retrieval (image, audio, video, text)
● Remote sensing image or video retrieval
● Mobile and social media retrieval
● Event-based media retrieval
● Multimedia data mining and analytics
● Multimodal analytics, simulations, and Digital Twins
● Multimedia recommendation
● 3D object/item retrieval
● Multimedia verification (e.g., multi-modal fact-checking, deep fake
analysis)
● Generative models for media content
● Multimodal fusion and content enrichment in application areas: disaster
management, tourism, smart manufacturing, security, water sector, public
administration, journalism.
● Evaluation and benchmarking of multimedia retrieval systems



*Special Session Submission Process*Normally, each special session will
include four to five papers. In addition to invited papers, if any, the
conference will also welcome open submissions to special sessions. In order
to ensure the high quality of accepted papers, all papers submitted to
special sessions, including invited papers, will be peer-reviewed through a
strict review process. If a special session has many high-quality
submissions, some of the submissions might be moved to regular sessions.

Special session papers must follow the same guidelines as regular research
papers with respect to restrictions on formatting, length, and double-blind
reviews. The review process will be coordinated with the main technical
program review process of the CBMI, as coordinated by the PC chairs.  The
organizers of each special session must provide 2 reviews per
submitted/invited paper, while the regular program committee will provide
1-2 reviews.

 Special sessions organizers may submit work to their own session, with the
restrictions that (a) each organizer may submit at most one paper, and (b)
no paper can be co-authored by all organizers, to ensure there is always at
least one chair able to organize the review of the submission.


*Special Session Proposal Guidelines*Please include the following
information in your proposal:
● Title of the proposed special session.
● Name, affiliation, brief biography and contact information for each of
the organizers.
● A session abstract including significance justification and a brief
overview of the state-of-the-art of the proposed special session topic.
Note: The session abstract should be in a format that can be copied
directly to the conference web-page to advertise the session.
● List of invited papers, if applicable, including for each paper:
tentative title, author list, and preferably a short abstract.
● Proposal for arrangement of the reviews from session organizers (e.g.
list of reviewers for the special session).
● Description of the session format (e.g. panel, technical talks, poster
session).
● Plans for advertising the special session (e.g. targeted distribution
lists, projects, communities)
● If applicable, plans for exploitation of the results of the workshop
(e.g. summary papers)

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and
relevance to CBMI, qualification(s) of the organizer(s), anticipated
community interest and quality of papers in the proposed session, and other
information from the list above provided by the organizers.


*Submission Instructions*Please submit proposals containing the information
from above by email to the Special Session chairs (ss-chairs ＠ cbmi2024.org)
using subject “CBMI2024 Special Session Proposal”. Receipt of a proposal
will be confirmed by one of the chairs.
