The 2011 FTRA International Workshop on Advanced Future Multimedia Services (AFMS 2011) will be held in Jeju, Korea, December 12-15, 2011.

The Workshop on Advanced Future Multimedia Services (AFMS'11) aims at high quality research contributions in advanced multimedia services for future technology, with a focus on how to apply advanced and semantic technologies to the acquisition, generation, storage, processing, and retrieval of large-scale multimedia information. A main goal of AFMS is to address emerging research challenges in advanced multimedia technologies. Multimedia community researchers are encouraged to join the workshop to benefit from the presentation of results from multimedia based research, which demonstrate important multimedia applications which could be enhanced by AI, Semantic Web and other advanced technologies.

AFMS'11 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of multimedia in general or in the context of specific domains.
