The growth, distribution of and access to multimedia material, i.e. recorded images,
audio, video or 3D/4D recorded material as well as computer generated 2D, 3D and 4D
content, is so huge that these resources now constitute the major share of internet traffic
as well as a huge share of data stored on any kind of electronic devices.
With their success, the multimedia contents become ever harder to manage, to find and
to access by the private users and the public or commercial organizations that created
them.
The conference series SAMT, the international conference on semantic and digital
media technologies, has been installed in 2006 in order to tackle this problem by recurring
to the semantics and pragmatics of multimedia generation, management and access.

The conference targets to attract authors of and audience for scientifically valuable research
work tackling the semantic gap between the low-level signal data representation
of multimedia material and the high-level meaning that providers, consumers and prosumers
associate with multimedia content.
For this purpose, we are interested in innovative solutions to this problem that may
consider all factors in the process of multimedia generation and consumption – including
methods from low-level signal processing up to the mobile context in which a user is
moving.
