Title: Intellgent content sharing and context aware web services

Type Details: TUCs group maintains long experience on information systems technology with emphasis on the management (processing, information extraction, dissemination and retrieval) of multimedia information in multimedia data bases and on the Web. As such, a database is not only considered from a standalone perspective; its strength lies in its potential association with other technological approaches e.g., web, content-based approaches. Regarding participation of TUC in emerging proposals in FP6, TUCs emphasis can be on content technologies and evolving context aware service provision that enable multimedia systems to fulfill the ever evolving users interests and needs in modern fast-evolving and distributed multimedia environments (such as the internet). TUCs may take a role in the design and development of multimedia information systems that exploit this information, through its dissemination, retrieval, analysis, conversion, learning and adaptation of both data and system services to different forms for satisfying different or evolving information needs.
