This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 2010 Inter- tionalConference onActiveMedia Technology(AMT2010),jointlyheldwiththe 2010 International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI 2010), at York Univ- sity, Toronto, Canada, during August 28-30, 2010. Organized by the Web Int- ligence Consortium (WIC) and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Task Force on Brain Informatics (IEEE-CIS TF-BI), this conference was the sixth in the AMT series since its debut conference at Hong Kong Baptist University in 2001 (followed by AMT 2004 in Chongqing, China, AMT 2005 in Kagawa, Japan, AMT 2006 in Brisbane, Australia, AMT 2009 in Beijing, China). Active media technology (AMT) is a new area of research and development in intelligent information technology and computer science. It emphasizes the proactive, adaptive and seamless roles of interfaces and systems as well as new media in all aspects of digital life. Over the past few years, we have witnessed rapiddevelopmentsofAMT technologiesandapplicationsrangingfrombusiness and communication to entertainment and learning. Examples include Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Moodle, Club Penguinand GoogleLatitude. Such - velopmentshavegreatlychangedourlivesbyenhancingthewaywecommunicate and do business.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Active Media Technology, AMT 2009, held in Beijing, China, in October 2009. The 47 revised full papers and the 6 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers reflect the shared forum for researchers and practitioniers from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, artificial intelligence, media engineering, economics, data mining, data and knowledge engineering, intelligent agent technology, human computer interaction, complex systems and systems science. The book offers new insights into the main research challenges and development of AMT by revealing the interplay between the studies of human informatics and research of informatics on the Web/Internet, mobile and wireless centric intelligent information processing systems.

Seeking to capture the essence of the current state of research in active media technology, this volume identifies the changes and opportunities - both current and future - in the field. The papers are taken from the Second International Conference on Active Media Technology, held in China in 2003. Researchers such as Professor Ning Zhong from the Maebashi Institute of Technology, Professor John Yen from the Pennsylvania State University, and Professor Sanker K. Pal from the Indian Statistical Institute present their research papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Active Media Technology, AMT 2011, held in Lanzhou, China, in September 2011. The 30 revised full papers and 6 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They are grouped in topcial sections on data mining and pattern analysis in active media; active human-Web interaction and social media; active Web intelligence applications; active multi-agent and network systems; as well as technology intelligence.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Active Media Technology, AMT 2014, held in Warsaw, Poland, in August 2014, held as part of the 2014 Web Intelligence Congress, WIC 2014. The 47 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The topics of these papers encompass active computer systems; interactive systems and applications of AMT-based systems; active media machine learning and data mining techniques; AMT for the semantic web; social networks and cognitive foundations.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Active Media Technology, AMT 2013, held in Maebashi, Japan, in October 2013. The 26 revised full papers presented together with 2 short papers, 16 workshop papers, and 12 special session papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on active computer systems, interactive systems, and application of AMT based systems; active media machine learning and data mining techniques; AMT for semantic web, social networks, and cognitive foundations. Additionally, the main topic of the workshop papers is: intelligence for strategic foresight; and for the special session papers: technologies and theories of narrative; evolutionary computation and its application; and intelligent media search techniques.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Active Media Technology, AMT 2012, held in Macau, China, in December 2012. The 65 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on awareness multi-agent systems, data mining, ontology mining, web reasoning, social applications of active media, human-centered computing, personalization and adaptation, smart digital art and e-learning.

Wavelet analysis and its applications have been one of the fastest growing research areas in the past several years. Wavelet theory has been employed in numerous fields and applications, such as signal and image processing, communication systems, biomedical imaging, radar, air acoustics, and many other areas. Active media technology is concerned with the development of autonomous computational or physical entities capable of perceiving, reasoning, adapting, learning, cooperating, and delegating in a dynamic environment.This book captures the essence of the current state of the art in wavelet analysis and active media technology. It includes nine invited papers by distinguished researchers: P Zhang, T D Bui and C Y Suen from Concordia University, Canada; N A Strelkov and V L Dol'nikov from Yaroslavl State University, Russia; Chin-Chen Chang and Ching-Yun Chang from Taiwan; S S Pandey from R D University, India; and I L Bloshanskii from Moscow State Regional University, Russia.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:
