About the Industry Forum
This half-day industry forum is organized by A*STAR's Exploit Technologies
together with the Institute for Infocomm Research. The objective of the forum is
to update the local digital media industry players on worldwide market trends
and technological developments in the mobile media arena. In addition, the forum
serves as a platform to engage the industry to call for proposals that could
leverage on A*STAR's wide array of media technologies for the development and
deployment of mobile applications.
Mobile Media technologies include video transcoding for mobile/digital TV,
mobile image recognition and annotation for interactivity, video indexing for
efficient search & retrieval, automated sports/news extraction and summarization
for content re-purposing, dynamic advertisement insertion, automated speech
transcription, automated language translation and others.
The forum is aimed at locally based companies that are developing or planning to
develop products and services using the latest mobile media technologies from
A*STAR. It is also targeted at participants who wish to update themselves on
recent developments in the mobile application space to better understand how
others are applying these and other related technologies as well as to exchange
ideas with technology experts in the field.
In addition, a license signing ceremony, to be witnessed by our Guest-of-Honour,
will also be held between Exploit Technologies and locally based companies that
are commercially using A*STAR's technologies to create innovative products and
services to compete in the global marketplace.
