TUTORIALS

The 12th Annual ACM International Conference on Multimedia (MM2004) will be held in New York city, NY, October 10-16, 2004. We are currently seeking individuals to present topics of interest to this community as tutorials.

ACM Multimedia is the premier technical multimedia conference attended by an international community of researchers from both academia and industry. The conference program features tutorials, an exceptionally strong technical program (acceptance rate for papers is around 15%), topic-focused workshops, and a doctoral symposium. Please see the conference website at http://www.mm2004.org/ for more information.

Tutorial presenters are given a honorarium of $800 for 1/2 day tutorials and $1600 for full day tutorials. If tutorial enrollment exceeds 10 people, the honorarium is increased by $50 for each additional participant.
