<p>Approximately forty researchers attended the International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Understanding (IWCIM), organized annually by the ERCIM Working Group Multimedia Understanding through Semantics, Computation and Learning (MUSCLE). The workshop took place as a satellite event of IEEE ISCAS 2024 held in Singapore on 21 May 2024. </p>

<p>Multimedia understanding is an essential part of many intelligent applications in our daily lives, whether in our households or commercial, industrial, service, and scientific environments. Analyzing data acquired from a multitude of multimodal sensors to provide them with semantics is essential to exploit their full potential. Multimodal and cross-modal analyses are essential for maximizing their utility.</p>
<p>Through IWCIM, the MUSCLE Working Group [L2] aims to address these emergent topics by growing a community of scientists and practitioners from the academy and industry. The mission continues with the planning of the upcoming thirteenth IWCIM, details of which will be announced shortly.</p>
<p>The IWCIM 2024 website is hosted by Istanbul Technical University [L1], and full-text papers may be accessed via IEEE Xplore.</p>
<p>We are excited to announce that the next edition will be featured as a special session during IEEE ISCAS 2025, which will take place in London from May 25th to 28th, 2025.</p>

The yearly conference of the ERCIM Working Group on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS [L1], the key conference at the intersection of industrial applications and formal methods, reached its 29th edition. This year the participants met in Milan, Italy, during 9-11 September 2024.
Nicola's research is distinguished by its high quality, interdisciplinary approach, and significant impact. His work spans across multiple domains, including Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Multimedia Information Retrieval. He has made substantial contributions to both the theoretical and applied aspects of these fields, with measurable scientific and practical outcomes.
ERCIM and JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) are co-organizing the 5th joint workshop on ‘Exploring New Research Challenges and Collaborations in AI/BD/HCI/IoT. This workshop aims to present recent results and emerging R&D work conducted in European institutions and in the context of the JST AIP (Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform) project in Japan. This event will provide an opportunity to its European and Japanese participants to discuss research challenges in these areas, as well as to consider collaboration prospects that may arise in the context of European programs and the relevant counterpart initiatives of JST.
In this workshop, invited participants will investigate research challenges, social aspects as well as potential collaboration opportunities in the following topics:
