ACM MULTIMEDIA 2016 Call for Papers

ACM MULTIMEDIA 2016
2016 15 - 19 October 2016
Amsterdam, The Netherlands

http://www.acmmm.org/2016/
Deadline: 3. April 2016

ACM Multimedia 2016 calls for full papers presenting novel theoretical
and algorithmic solutions addressing problems across the domain of
multimedia and related applications. The conference also calls for
short papers presenting novel, thought-provoking ideas and promising
(preliminary) results in realizing these ideas.

Submissions are invited in the following 15 topic areas grouped into 4 themes:

Systems

Research in multimedia systems is generally concerned with
understanding fundamental tradeoffs between competing resource
requirements, developing practical techniques and heuristics for
realizing complex optimization and allocation strategies, and
demonstrating innovative mechanisms and frameworks for building
large-scale multimedia applications. Within this theme, we have
focussed on four target topic areas:

    Multimedia Transport and Delivery
    Multimedia Systems and Middleware
    Multimedia Telepresence and Virtual/Augmented Reality
    Multimedia Scalability and Management
    Mobile Multimedia

Experience

One of the core tenants of our research community is that multimedia
data contributes to the user experience in a rich and meaningful
manner. The topics organized under this theme are concerned with
innovative uses of multimedia to enhance the user experience, how this
experience is manifested in specific domains, and metrics for
qualitatively and quantitatively measuring that experience in useful
and meaningful ways. Specific topic areas addressed this year include:

    Multimedia HCI and Quality of Experience
    Music, Speech and Audio Processing in Multimedia
    Multimedia Art, Entertainment and Culture
    Multimedia for Collaboration in Education & Distributed Environments

Engagement

The engagement of multimedia with society as whole requires research
that addresses how multimedia can be used to connect people with
multimedia artifacts that meet their needs in a variety of
contexts. The topic areas included under this theme include:

    Emotional and Social Signals In Multimedia
    Social Multimedia
    Multimedia Search and Recommendation

Understanding

Multimedia data types by their very nature are complex and often
involve intertwined instances of different kinds of information. We
can leverage this multi-modal perspective in order to extract meaning
and understanding of the world, often with surprising
results. Specific topics addressed this year include:

    Deep Learning for Multimedia
    Multimodal Analysis and Description
    Multimedia and Vision

Submission Information

Papers submitted to this track must conform with a Double-blind
Review process. Details and updates can found on the web
