http://www.itu.dk/people/bjth/MAPTA/

===== Video Browser Showdown ===========================

The Video Browser Showdown (VBS) is an annual live video search competition, where international researchers evaluate and demonstrate the efficiency of their exploratory video retrieval tools on a shared data set in front of the audience.

VBS has been organized as a special session MMM since 2012. In this special session the participating teams start with a quick presentation of their video search systems and then perform several video retrieval tasks with a moderately large video collection. This year, VBS will collaborate with the TRECVID Ad-Hoc search task and use the same data set of about 600 hours of video content.

The aim of the Video Browser Showdown is to evaluate video browsing tools for their efficiency at “Known Item Search” (KIS) tasks with a well-defined data set in direct comparison with other tools. For each KIS task the searchers need to interactively find a short video clip (20 secs) in the video collection within a specific time limit. While the video data is distributed before the event, the tasks are presented on-site via a projector (either as a video clip itself, or as a textual description).

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to the upcoming ICMMM 2017: THE 2nd INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL CONFERENCE ON MULTIDISCIPLINARY  METHOD AND MODEL 2017, to be held from 15-16 August 2017 through a virtual conference based on video conferencing style.

As with the past ICMMM2016 conference, all accepted papers in the conference have been submitted to Advance Science Letter Journal (ASL) with  Scopus index. 

ICMMM 2017 is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to meet a motivating research opportunity for international experts in the varietystate of the art of METHOD and MODEL development. The fields are nature, particularly biological , physical systems , sciences, engineering, computer science, physic, mathematics, life science, economics, education , linguistics , social science and more. This is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of theory and methodologies are being investigated and developed to tackle the complex system and challenging problems.

The registration fee  includes review process, video conferencing presentation, keynote speaker, plenary speaker and invited speaker presentations, pre-conference presentation, letter of proven, the e-certificate for participant’s KPI,  the process for Scopus & ISI Thomson Reuters, Web of Science  index applications.

ICMMM 2017 is based on video conferencing style. Thus, accommodation, travel expenses,  lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks are not provided and are not required. ICMMM 2017 needs your laptop/CPU with camera, internet network and Zoom.US  facilities to support your online presentation.
To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region, researchers outside of Malaysia are encouraged to propose invited sessions for the Plenary speaker and Invited speaker . An e-certificate will be given to the them for supporting their yearly KPI.

Furthermore, ICMMM2017 aims to gather researchers, engineers, scientists and industrial players working together in the multidisciplinary field to share their knowledge, idea, concept, model and method on the recent trends and technologies. We believe the conference will become a forum, discourse and solutions for the challenging applications.
Please refer to the attachment and for more information, visit the conference web page:
http://csnano.utm.my/icmmm2017/
If you have any questions after visiting the conference web page, please email the ICMMM 2017 secretariat at

Lets join ICMMM 2017 via video conferencing at low cost expenses  to fulfil your KPI such as conference presentation as participant, invited speaker, plenary speaker, peer-reviewer based on e-certificate/letter of proven  of the contribution and publication with Scopus or ISI index.

Info on virtual conference

In recent years, virtual conference using video conferencing style is a quite popular way for conferencing ICMMM 2017 especially between researchers. Virtual Conference is an innovative way of presenting information on internet. Virtual conference, also named as online conference is a smart approach of sharing information in effective way. There is no need for physical attendance, the whole conference process and the conference itself is managed fully online. Here are some advantages of a virtual conference:

• Saves money. No travel, accommodation, and restaurant costs
• Saves time. No travel or away time required.
• Allows you to participate when you schedule your time.
• Fullfill all the KPI via the e-certification proven for all contributions in ICMMM 2017
• Similar validation of non-virtual conference such as publication with SCOPUS or ISI indexed, certification awarded, etc).
• Publish and share all supporting media (PPT, video, etc.) in the ICMMM 2017 database.
• Virtual presentations are greenenvironment and reduce your carbon footprint.
• Viewing of keynote and invited speaker talks online.
