It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the International Workshop on Social, Adaptive and Personalized Multimedia Interaction and Access (SAPMIA 2010). This year's workshop is supported by several European Research Projects on State of the Art topics in Multimedia and attempts to provide a forum to disseminate work that explicitly exploits the synergy between multimedia content analysis, personalisation, and next generation networking and community aspects of social networks.
This workshop attempts to present the new scenery in multimedia networking, as this is identified through the integration of multimedia content analysis techniques with information derived from users, networked communities, and context awareness, in a mission to present, discuss and develop new adaptation and personalization approaches from which users of multimedia can benefit.
The call for papers attracted submissions from Asia, Canada and Europe. The program committee accepted 15 papers that cover a variety of topics, including interactive multimedia systems, adaptive browsing, and user interfaces, collaborative search, personalized access to multimedia content, robust and scalable multimedia content distribution, content-based recommendation, semantic technologies for multimedia content personalization and adaptation, and social multimedia applications. In addition, the program includes a keynote speech by Touradj Ebrahimi entitled "QoE of video streaming in P2P/social networks".

QoE issues in P2P video streaming
This paper provides an overview of major issues and challenges for streaming of video content in peer-to-peer (P2P) environments, as presented during the keynote by the author at SAPMIA: ACM Workshop on Social, Adaptive and Personalized Multimedia ...
Towards a self-organizing replication model for non-sequential media access
Due to the vast amount of video available in the Internet new access patterns emerge. Users do not always want to watch all of the content sequentially - such as in a movie - but want to pick specific parts, which are interesting for them. Based on a ...
Introducing risplayer: real-time interactive generation of personalized video summaries
This paper introduces the Real-Time Interactive Video Summaries Player -RISPlayer-, an application for the real-time generation and visualization of video summaries that allows the user to generate and watch video summaries on the fly. Therefore, the ...
Concept based interactive retrieval for social environment
Following the recent developments in social networking, there is an emerging interest to share experiences online with social peers through multimedia data. Consequently, exponential amount of multimedia information has been generated by everyday users ...
Towards characterizing users' interaction with zoomable video
We conducted a user study with 4 video clips and 37 viewing sessions on how users interact with a web-based zoomable video system, where users can zoom and pan within the video to view selected regions-of-interest with more detail. The study shows that ...
Finding the user's interest level from their eyes
An innovative model is proposed that empowers the semi-automatic image annotation algorithms with the implicit feedback of the users' eyes. This frame work extracts the features from the users' gaze pattern over an image by the help of the eye-trackers ...
Browser independent content-based image resizing for liquid web layouts
A typical problem for webdesigners is to realize pages that can be potentially accessed from a number of display devices with different screen sizes and resolutions. Liquid layouts can help for this purpose. However, they can not typically be applied to ...
My personal media entertainer: context-adaptive content recommendation and delivery
We describe here a system oriented towards personalized selection and delivery of heterogeneous multimedia content. It is designed to go along with the user during the whole day seamlessly and provide on demand delivery of relevant multi-modal content, ...
Adaptive video and metadata display using multimedia documents
Adaptation of multimedia content is a problem which has been addressed from different points of view in existing works. The specific problem of adapting multimedia documents which describe the spatial, temporal and interactive organization of several ...
Why did you take this photo: a study on user intentions in digital photo productions
Why do people take pictures? While substantial work has been done on the intentions of people producing photos in specific domains (e.g. Flickr users or mobile phone cameras) the general case - arbitrary users taking photos with arbitrary devices - has ...
Combining multimedia resources for an engaging experience of cultural heritage
ICT technologies have a great potential not only for preserving and increasing awareness about cultural heritage, but also for allowing people to better experience this huge legacy. Various application tools have already been developed which provide ...
REM: a ray exploration model that caters to the search needs of multi-attribute data
User recall patterns related to multi-attribute data match paradigms more suited to facet browsing than keyword-based search. Canonical keyword-based search methodologies put an undue cognitive load on the user in requiring that the user phrase his/her ...
A behavioral study of emotions in south indian classical music andits implications in music recommendation systems
In order to model a culture-specific content-based music recommendatio/n system, a total of 750 subjective emotional responses to tunes composed in popular raagas of South Indian classical (Carnatic) music are empirically investigated to find out the ...
A content-based rapid video playback method using motion-based video time density function and temporal quantization
In this paper, we propose a new content-based rapid video playback method using motion-based video time density function (MVTDF) and temporal quantization. In particular, we formulate the rapid video playback problem as a generic sampling problem. We ...
