| - | We target the development of both theoretically and practically robust solutions to comfort our excellent research position in the domain of multimedia information retrieval. We encourage very much collaborations and transparent solution development (through free software release, for example). In this context, experience in software development using object oriented languages (eg C++, Java) is highly desirable. | + | We target the development of both theoretically and practically robust solutions to comfort our excellent research position in the domain of multimedia information retrieval and exploration.
