============================================
The goal of the PATCH2012MM workshop is to gather researchers and 
practitioners from different fields, e.g., multimedia retrieval, user 
interaction, arts and heritage curation, interface design and user 
modeling, in order to showcase novel applications and discuss 
opportunities that grow from the connections between users and 
multimedia systems in the cultural heritage domain.

Next to the full research papers, we also encourage submissions of 
position papers, short papers and demonstrations to enable active 
discussion of the open challenges and issues in this area of research. 
We invite submissions of work at all stages of development that address 
any aspects of personalization in the cultural heritage domain, e.g., 
papers which describe work in progress, empirical results, position 
statements, and demonstrations of existing systems.
