2. ICT technologies for development of SCADA systems and smart grids
3. Flexible Internet of Things technologies
4. Heterogeneous sensor platforms
5. Human-Machine Interfaces including automatic speech recognition
6. Statistical methods including dynamic Bayesian networks and robust statistical analytics
7. Acquisition of multimedia content and QoE management in content distribution networks
8. Audio-visual systems including novel multimedia architectures
9. Computing methods for multimedia systems and authentication of multimedia content
10. Cybercrime – threats and counteracting
11. Data and privacy protection
12. Data mining including opinion mining and text summarization
13. Ethical issues and law aspects in video surveillance, Internet monitoring, security research
14. Evaluation of security features in end-user applications
15. Intelligent monitoring, recognition of objects and events, video and audio summarization
16. Interactive multimedia and biometric applications
17. Multimedia and data fusion in personal, sensor, p2p and ad-hoc networks
18. Multimedia surveillance and compound security, object tracking and threat detection
19. Network measurement, monitoring and performance evaluation of multimedia services
20. Parallel processing of audio & video, video processing through cloud computing, video transcoding
21. Reliability, availability, serviceability of multimedia services
22. Searching methods, search engines and applications including searching of multimedia content
