*** Call for Multimedia Datasets *** ACM Multimedia Systems Conference (MMsys 2013) http://www.mmsys.org/?q=node/68 February 27 - March 1, 2013 Oslo, Norway *** Important Dates *** Submission deadline: November 15, 2012 Author notification: December 15, 2012 Camera ready: January 15, 2013 *** Call *** The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist 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. As an integral part of the conference since 2012, the Dataset track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to make their work available (and citable) to the multimedia community. MMSys encourages and recognizes dataset sharing, and seeks contributions in all areas of multimedia (not limited to MM systems). Authors publishing datasets will benefit by increasing the public awareness of their effort in collecting the datasets. In particular, 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 * 15 minutes oral presentation All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 members of the technical program committee. 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. *** TPC *** Xavier Anguera, Telefonica Research, Spain Cyril Concolato, Telecom Paristech, France Petros Daras, Informatics and Telematics Institute, Greece Rene Kaiser, Joanneum, Austria Martha Larson, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Noel O'Connor, Dublin City University, Ireland Mohammad Soleymani, Imperial College, UK Christian Timmerer, Klagenfurt University, Austria Wei Tsang Ooi, National University of Singapore, Singapore Wanmin Wu, University of California at San Diego, USA *** Chair *** Pablo Cesar, CWI, the Netherlands *** Submission Guidelines *** Authors interested in submitting a dataset should: 1.
