the multimedia community. Authors will identify a primary area and a
secondary area for their submitted paper.  ACM Multimedia 2011, seeks
contributions in 10 broad areas, including (1) multi-modal integration
and understanding in the imperfect world, (2) media analysis and
search, (3) scalability in media processing, analysis, and
applications, (4) multimedia systems and middleware, (5) media
transport and sharing, (6) multimedia security, (7) media authoring
