Announcement: P2P Infrastructure Workshop 1P2P4MM
From jean-yves le moine:
This first workshop on peer to peer architectures for multimedia retrieval (1P2P4mm) is arranged by the CHORUS Coordination Action at Infoscale 2008 to discuss what challenges must be met and what bottlenecks must be addressed by research and engineering efforts in the near future, and what the respective roles of industrial partners, content providers, research institutions and public bodies will and should be. The goal of the workshop is to provide input to a comprehensive gap analysis and recommendations for future action on the part of academic researchers, industrial developers, and public funding agencies, most notably the European Commission.
We want to gather a group of committed researchers and practictioners in a working meeting where we can share opinions and discuss challenges and how they might be met: p2p technology has obvious potential to become a useful technology for multimedia retrieval – the question is whether adoption of p2p solutions will have wider ramifications on the design of search and on interaction with information systems in view of other foreseen advances in services and technology. This workshop is intended to provide answers to whether there is need for future actions and how those actions best might be described.
We would be very pleased if you would accept to join us for 1p2pmm on June 6. It will be colocated with InfoScale 2008, Vico Equense, Italy! A 1 page position paper or a short and substantial statement to engage strong discussion in the workshop is welcomed – send it to us before May 15 for inclusion in the working notes for the workshop! We will put them on a website accessible to all the participants.
