** ACM Multimedia 2013 - Call for Brave New Idea Papers
------------------------------------------------------------
http://acmmm13.org/submissions/call-for-brave-new-idea-papers/

Brave New Ideas should address long term research challenges, point to
new research directions, or provide new insights or brave perspectives
that pave the way to innovation.  We thus seek contributions that
explore innovative and paradigm shifts in conventional theory and
practice of multimedia techniques and applications. We also seek to
draw attention to methods that differ from the state of art in
practice or theory and demonstrate the potential for new ways of
thinking. Such papers may arise out of inter-disciplinary work, and
may involve cross-disciplinary inputs. Although comprehensive
experimental results are not required, at least preliminary results
should be presented as proof of concept.

Submission Guidelines

The papers may come from two sources. We expect most papers to come
from direct submissions in the “Brave New Idea Program”. These
papers will be reviewed in two stages: Extended abstracts (2-pages)
will be first filtered by the Brave New Ideas Program Chairs, and then
selected papers (up to 10 pages) will undergo a full review plus
discussions by the Chairs. Please submit 2-page abstracts in standard
ACM MM 2013 format, with the exception that the papers need not be
blind.  Meanwhile, at the discretion of the Program Chairs,
submissions to regular full paper track may be recommended to the
“Brave New Ideas Program” Committee for considerations to be
included in the BNI program.
