Abstract

In this paper, we provide a brief survey on multimedia information retrieval and we introduce some ideas investigated in the special issue. We hope that the contributions of this issue will stimulate the readers to tackle the current challenges and problems in this highly important research direction. Such contributions are the basis of tomorrow's multimedia information systems. Our aims are to clarify some notions raised by this new technology by reviewing its current capabilities and potential usefulness to users in various areas. The research and development issues cover a wide range of fields, many of which are shared with media processing, signal processing, database technologies, and data mining.

Chabane Djeraba has been a professor of computer science at the University of Science and Technology in Lille, France since 2003. He is a member of LIFL Laboratory, which is a joint research unit of both the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Science and Technology of Lille. At LIFL Laboratory he also heads a research team on mining, indexing, and recognition of multimedia and complex data. He was an associate professor of computer science at Nantes University from 1994 to 2003. He obtained a Ph.D. in computer science from Claude Bernard University of Lyon, France in 1993; a master's degree from Pierre Mendes France University, France in 1990; and an engineering degree from the National Institute of Computer Science (INI), Algiers, Algeria in 1989. He has organized major multimedia conferences and been cochair of workshops such as ACM Multimedia Information Retrieval and ACM Multimedia Data Mining. He has been the guest editor of special issues of top multimedia journals (e.g., IEEE Multimedia). During the last 15 years he has published 100 scientific publications in the areas of multimedia indexing and retrieval and mining, including one leading book on multimedia data mining, and he has participated on several program committees of major conferences and journals (e.g., International Journal of Multimedia Tools and Applications, Springer-Kluwer).

Nicu Sebe is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Science, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

He has been a guest editor for top scientific journals including the ACM Multimedia Systems Journal, ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications, Image and Vision Computing, and Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal. He organized major multimedia conferences and workshops and was the co-chair of the IEEE Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction (2004 and 2005), ACM Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval (2003 & 2004), and of the International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval (CIVR 2003).

Michael Lew is codirector of the LIACS Media Lab and co-head of the Imaging/Multimedia Research Theme at the Leiden University Computer Science Department (LIACS). He has over 100 scientific publications in the areas of multimedia information retrieval, human–computer interaction, and biocomputing including a leading book on multimedia search and retrieval and has been a guest editor of numerous scientific journals including the ACM Multimedia Systems Journal, ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communication, and Applications, and the International Journal on Computer Vision and Image Understanding. His professional service includes founding the International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval and assisting in the organization of the major multimedia conferences such as ACM MM and IEEE ICME. He has been co-chair of the IEEE Workshop on Human–Computer Interaction and the ACM Workshop on Multimedia Information Retrieval. His group has received national and international coverage in scientific circles and newspapers and on television and has regularly been the recipient of leading grant-supported international research projects.
