CUbRIK is a FP7-ICT funded 36-month long project that started in October 2011 and which focuses on building a flexible platform for multimedia search that combines human input and machine computation. CUbRIK platform is built for multimedia search practitioners, researchers and end-users and relies on CUbRIK pipelines which bundle and distribute the tasks to be executed.
CUbRIK differs from the development of a monolithic do-it-all architecture. It follows a differential approach based on SMILA as the underlying framework for supporting workflow definition and core services execution. CUbRIK relies on a framework for executing processes (aka pipelines), consisting of collections of tasks. In order to understand the CUbRIK structure, that is reflected in the Release, it is necessary to provide to the Reader the CUbRIK Pipeline concept. Moreover, for this release, the H-Demo and V-Apps have to be referred too.
