Modeling, detecting, and processing events in multimedia

Humans think in terms of events and entities. Events pro-vide a natural abstraction of happenings in the real world.The concept of events has a long history in foundational sci-ences such as philosophy and linguistics. After flrst devel-oping objects-based and entity-based approaches, computerscience research is now addressing the concept of events andbuilding many applications that consider events at least asimportant as objects. Consequently, we flnd many difierentsolutions and approaches for modeling, detecting, and pro-cessing events. In addition, we flnd difierent applicationsthat are based on events and make use of events.
