Large amounts of multimedia material, such as images, audio,
video, and 3D/4D material, as well as computer generated 2D, 3D,
and 4D content, already exist and are growing at increasing rates.

access to multimedia material is becoming ever harder, both for
lay and professional users.

The SAMT Special Issue of Multimedia Tools and Applications is
going to tackle these problems by investigating the semantics
and pragmatics of multimedia generation, management, and user
access. It aims to attract scientifically valuable research

that providers, consumers, and prosumers associate with the content.

We welcome innovative solutions that consider some or all factors
in the process of multimedia generation and consumption, including

in which a user operates.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
