Proceedings of the Workshop on Visual Analysis in Smart and Connected Communities

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the First ACM Multimedia Workshops on Visual Analysis for Smart and Connected Communities (VSCC'17), which is in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Multimedia'2017. This workshop serves as the premier forum for presentation of cutting-edge visual analysis techniques that are widely used in all aspects of smart cities -- transportation, security, smart building, internet of things etc. The mission of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse areas of artificial intelligence -- vision, multimedia, learning, reasoning, planning etc., to explore both established and novel applications of visual analysis techniques. The three goals of VSCC'17 are to (a) identify the key challenges in visual analysis for smart and connected communities; (b) recognize the promising solutions to these challenges; and (c) remark the future of research in this inter-discipline domain.
