ACM Multimedia 2011 Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. Nov.28-Dec.1, 2011 http://www.acmmm11.org *Description of the Areas* Starting with ACM Multimedia 2011, the conference will have ten areas, instead of the familiar tracks of content, systems, applications and human-centered computing. The introduction of areas allows the community to solicit papers from a wide range of timely multimedia-related topics. For example, this change has allowed us to focus on crosscutting topics, including scalability and mobility, as areas of interest. When submitting a paper, you should select the primary area that best matches the primary focus of your submission. The selection of a secondary area is optional; select the secondary area when the research crosses over to other areas. List of areas: 1/ multi-modal integration and understanding in the imperfect world, 2/ media analysis and search, 3/ scalability in media processing, analysis, and applications, 4/ multimedia systems and middleware, 5/ media transport and sharing, 6/ multimedia security, 7/ media authoring and production, 8/ location-based and mobile multimedia, 9/ human, social, and educational aspects of multimedia, 10/ arts and contemporary digital culture. Please check the ACM Multimedia 2011 web site to get a description of the scope of each area as well as the name of the area chairs.
