Conference Focus

The NEM Summit, now in its 2nd year, is organised by the NEM Initiative - the Networked Electronic Media European Technology Platform - under the aegis of the European Commission (DG INFSO).

Building upon the success of the first NEM Summit in 2008, the 2009 NEM Summit will be a major event in the NEM and ICT fields. It will present cutting-edge technical papers supported by an exhibition featuring live demonstrations. Visitors will be able to network and share information and views on R&D status and perspectives, to identify future trends, and to discuss opportunities for research collaboration.

On-going technological developments in media distribution are enabling an unprecedented number of innovative applications, empowering the role of the end-user and fostering the creation of new business initiatives. Electronic media technologies are enabling new generations of media devices and services, seamlessly conveyed over ever-increasingly intelligent media transportation networks. Thanks to the emergence of flexible content representation and rendering technologies, eApplications at large, supported by secure and trustworthy authentication and payment services, will be available everywhere, any time and on every device.

The retrieval of «My preferred Content» will be made easy by the rapid adoption of multimedia search utilities that will unleash the power of identifying objects by AV multimedia keys. The relevance of the results will be improved even more, thanks to the context-awareness capabilities of terminals. The same system will allow the user to easily share his experiences and creativity with a broad community. The multi-modality of rich and interactive media content will greatly improve user experience, including people with disabilities, through immersive and more natural use of all human senses: the user becomes an integral part of the multi-media experience, while the terminal device itself vanishes.

After the success of the first NEM Summit in 2008, the 2009 NEM Summit will feature a selected number of keynote speakers who will provide insights into the latest findings and trends in the domain of Networked Electronic Media.

The NEM Summit will allow researchers and research consortia to increase the visibility of their work by submitting top-level technical papers to the event. This will be complemented by a special session focussed on strategic aspects and roadmapping of multimedia applications. Additionally, the Summit will include a forum where latest innovations in the NEM field will be illustrated.

The ambition of the NEM Summit is to foster the interaction between researchers and business decision makers active in this emerging market, hence annealing the outcome of R&D activities into the creation of new business opportunities. The Summit will also allow researchers to identify opportunities for international research collaboration under the ICT Theme of EU Research Framework Programme 7 (FP7).

The 2009 NEM Summit will feature a selected numbers of keynote speakers who will provide insights into the latest findings and trends in the domain of Networked Electronic Media.

The addressed topics, derived from the 5th NEM Strategic Research Agenda, and detailed information is available in the Call for papers section of this website.
