Semantic multimedia-related research gains increasing attention nowadays to satisfy the needs of understanding and managing the semantics within the multimedia data, efficient and effective retrieval of semantic information, fast and secured delivery and sharing of semantic multimedia, and etc. As a workshop focusing on the state-of-the-art research regarding semantic multimedia, the ICSC-SMM'13 provides a forum for researchers to present their latest research progress, exchange brilliant ideas and thoughts, and explore new research directions. We continue seeking high quality research contributions and encouraging significant work that addresses the major challenges in the semantic multimedia domain. Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that span a variety of aspects of semantic multimedia including

• Semantic multimedia metadata ontology and management
• Multimedia content analysis and processing
• Social media computing
• Large-scale multimedia data mining and retrieval
• Multimedia security, content protection and forensics
• Multi-modal integration, human-machine interaction and applications
• Semantic-based QoS control and scheduling
• Semantic-based Internet data streaming and delivery
• Multimedia-enriched semantic web
• Semantics-enabled networking and middleware for multimedia applications
• Multimedia event detection and understanding
• Semantic multimedia demonstrations and applications
