Call For IBC2017 Technical Papers Submissions

IBC has announced that submissions for its Technical Papers and Posters are now open. The technical papers will form the framework of topics for the IBC2017 Conference.

For 2017, and in response to changes in the industry, the session producers are expanding the categories of submission to include smart technologies which support and process user-produced media and data.

IBC's 'Advances in Technology' sessions explore new technologies and services across the media industry, and today the bounds of the industry go beyond the traditional creation and distribution of audio-visual content. Companies are continuously exploring the potential of new concepts where users become the source of media or tracked data, and in return for access to this information, they are provided with a variety of personal benefits. With this in mind, the 2017 call for papers covers a range of emerging industry sectors including: technologies which require crowd-sourced inputs, methods for gesture recognition (e.g. for adaptive advertising), eye tracking (for VR applications), processes for wearable health monitors, smart automotive media, artificial intelligence and the internet of things.

Dr Nick Lodge, IBC's Executive Producer of the Advances in Technology conference stream, said: "Over the last few years, our technical papers submissions have shown us how quickly the world of media technology is diversifying. The application of smart or autonomous technologies to user-generated media and data, will not only influence how we consume media, but how we interact with our friends and the world around us."

All submissions are peer-reviewed by a board of experts and those which are accepted for presentation at the IBC Conference will also be published in the citable conference proceedings and will be in with a chance of winning the Best Conference Paper Award.

Synopses may also be submitted for IBC's digital posters. This multimedia forum is located in the Future Zone and offers an opportunity to present ideas in person to IBC attendees.

The deadline for submissions is Monday 6 February, 2017. Entries at this stage require a 300-word synopsis, which can be submitted at IBC.org/technicalpapers.
