日本データベース学会の皆様 NICTの是津です。 2013年6月にミラノで開催されますIEEE MDM2013 Workshop on Field Speech and Mobile Data (FSMD2013)の論文投稿締切りが、**2月17日に延長**となりました。 また、★Google Voice Searchで著名なMike Schuster博士をkeynoteにお迎えするこ とが決まりました★。 この機会に皆様からのご投稿をお待ちしております。 **************************************************************************** ***** Call for Papers Workshop on Field Speech and Mobile Data (FSMD 2013) http://www2.nict.go.jp/univ-com/isp/fsmd2013/index.html in conjunction with The 14th International Conference on Mobile Data Management Milan, Italy, June 3-6, 2013 Date of Workshop: June 3, 2013 **************************************************************************** ***** Workshop General Co-Chairs: Yutaka Kidawara, NICT, Japan Sung Hyon Myaeng, KAIST, Korea Scope and Theme: Advances of speech recognition technologies for mobile devices like smart phones has made "speech data" an integral part of mobile data management. More and more attentions from both academics and industries are paid to voice user interfaces (VUI), multilingual translation, audio-video transcription, and even speech-to-blogging for mobile devices. Hereafter, management of real-world "field" speech data will be crucial for searching, analyzing, sharing, and delivering them in mobile service networks. With special emphasis on management of real-world "field" speech data, a new ICT platform integrating speech communication and cyber-physical systems will be introduced. On this platform, we can expect novel applications harnessing mobile speech data management, such as knowledge discovery form speech log data, situation awareness in real-world human communication, hands-free interaction using head-mounted display with speech input augmented by linguistic and sensory data. In this workshop we aim to provide a venue for academic and industrial discussions on "cross-cutting" technologies and open problems on speech data management and their applications for mobile devices. The list of topics includes but is not limited to: * Field speech data processing * Speech recognition for mobile devices * Speech-to-speech translation * Spoken dialog systems * Voice user interfaces * Speech data mining * Spoken document retrieval * Cyber-physical systems * Internet of Things * Security and privacy for mobile speech data management * Spatio-temporal databases * Audio and video transcriptions for mobile multimedia * Multimodal processing * Data engineering and information management * Social networks * Smart-X services * Service computing & Cloud computing with speech data Important Dates: Submission deadline: February 17, 2013 (extended) Notification of acceptance: March 6, 2013 Final manuscript due: March 13, 2013 Workshop date: June 3, 2013 Submission Guidelines: FSMD 2013 adopts the standard peer review procedure, hence submissions should not be anonymized. Our paper submission website will be open for papers (up to 10 pages, following the same guidelines as the IEEE MDM 2013 full papers) until January 31, 2013, 11:59 pm PST. In addition to the full-length papers, the Program Committee may accept some as short papers which will be requested to be shortened. Submission instructions will be available at our website: http://www2.nict.go.jp/univ-com/isp/fsmd2013/submission.html Contact: For questions, please contact the FSMD2013 organizing committee at the following e-mail address: fsmd2013-contact@khn.nict.go.jp ------------------------------ 是津 耕司 （Koji Zettsu) 独立行政法人 情報通信研究機構 ユニバーサルコミュニケーション研究所 情報利活用基盤研究室 室長 〒619-0289 京都府相楽郡精華町光台3-5 TEL: 0774-98-6921 FAX: 0774-98-6960 E-mail: zettsu@nict.go.jp
