**** MMSys 2011 **** Call For Papers ACM Multimedia Systems 2011 February 23-25, 2011 San Jose, California www.mmsys.org Important Dates: * September 24, 2010: Submission Deadline * November 9, 2010: Notification Date We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 2nd ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held Feb. 23-25, 2011 in San Jose, California, USA. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientists to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. *** Dataset Track *** MMSys is introducing a new Dataset Track to the conference to encourage and recognize dataset sharing among researchers from both industry and academia. Submission to the dataset track will need to include: * A URL where the dataset is located. * A short paper (up to 6 pages) describing the format of the data collected, the methodology used to collect the dataset, and basic characterizing statistics from the dataset. Authors of datasets accepted for publication will receive: * Dataset hosting from MMSys for at least 5 years. * Citable publication of the dataset description in the proceedings. * Inclusion in a poster session at the conference. * Discounted conference registration. Datasets should be appropriately anonymized. Datasets will be evaluated by the committee on the basis of the collection methodology and the value of the dataset as a resource for the research community. *** Full Paper Track *** Full papers submitted can be up to 12 pages long. Authors of papers that rely upon or use an underlying dataset are encouraged to also submit the dataset to the dataset track if possible. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-Core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems * 3D and Multiview Streaming Hosted By Cisco This year the conference will be hosted by Cisco. The MMSys organizing committee gratefully acknowledges this generous show of support for this research community and welcomes the participation of all industry researchers.
