This workshop aims at providing a forum for the dissemination of new and emerging fields engaged in the integration of Multidimensional Media with Knowledge and Content processing technologies. Focus of this first event will be on the dissemination of the most relevant results of projects funded by the European Commission and targeted at bridging the gap between semantics and digital media systems. The workshop offers an opportunty to projects, institutions and individuals to present ongoing research to industrial representatives and development engineers who could exploit the technology emerging from the projects. The workshop is organized in two plenary tracks of presentations, the first aimed at presenting scientific and technological results of the AIM@SHAPE project, and the second aimed at providing an overview of the relevant projects, research results, open issues and emerging challenges in this research area. The workshop will also include key-notes and/or industrial panels. The event is supported by the EU IST project AIM@SHAPE and will be held at the Taikan-So Hotel in the wonderful area of Matsushima, Japan.
