It is our pleasure to welcome you to the ACM Multimedia 2009 Workshop on Multimedia for Cooking and Eating Activities -- CEA'09 in Beijing, China. Cooking is one of the most fundamental activities of humankind, which concerns a wide-range of issues and social impact. Many people who cook at home require supports for cooking because it requires experience and knowledge. They may also need support for food-logging and menu planning for the health of their family. Needless to say, support for a good and enjoyable dinner would improve the quality of life. On the other hand, systematic cooking and eating support for some elderly or physically challenged people are significantly important.
The call for papers attracted ten submissions from Asia and the United States. Each paper was reviewed by three reviewers, and the program committee decided to accept seven papers based on the reports. Participants of the workshop will learn the current state of the usage and its effects of multimedia sensors, and the handling of knowledge databases with experimental results toward human behavior understanding in the context of cooking and eating applications. They will also see novel applications for supporting cooking and eating activities through contents construction support for cooking and human-to-human communication support at a dining table.
