Call for Nominations
 
Editor-In-Chief
 
ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications
(TOMM)
 
The term of the current Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the ACM Transactions on
Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMM)
(http://tomm.acm.org/) is coming to an end, and the ACM Publications Board
has set up a nominating committee to assist the Board in selecting the
next EiC.
 
Nominations, including self-nominations, are invited for a three-year term
as TOMM EiC, beginning on 1 January 2016. The EiC appointment may be
renewed at most one time. This is an entirely voluntary position, but ACM
will provide appropriate administrative support.
 
The EiC is responsible for maintaining the highest editorial quality, for
setting technical direction of the papers published in TOMM, and for
maintaining a reasonable pipeline of articles for publication. He/she has
final say on acceptance of papers, size of the Editorial Board, and
appointment of Associate Editors. The EiC is expected to adhere to the
commitments expressed in the policy on Rights and Responsibilities in ACM
Publishing
more information about the role of the EiC, see ACM's Evaluation Criteria
for Editors-in-Chief
 
Nominations should include a vita along with a brief statement of why the
nominee should be considered. Self-nominations are encouraged, and should
include a statement of the candidate's vision for the future development
of TOMM. The deadline for submitting nominations is 24 July 2015, although
nominations will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.
