Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

Multimedia is increasingly becoming the "biggest big data" as the most
important and valuable source for insights and information. It covers
from everyone's experiences to everything happening in the world. As
such, multimedia big data is spurring on tremendous amount of research
and development of related technologies and applications.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM),
jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia
Computing) and IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing),
is a world's premier forum of leading scholars in the highly active
multimedia big data research, development and applications. The first
BigMM conference, with the theme "Multimedia: The Biggest Big Data",
will be held in Beijing, China, from April 20 to 22, 2015, hosted by
Peking University.
