ACM Multimedia Systems 2010

Full paper Deadline: Sept. 15, 2009

Event location: Scottsdale, AZ, USA
Event date: Feb. 22-23, 2010
URL: http://www.mmsys.org
Sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia

Over the years, ACM SIG Multimedia has received numerous requests to create a multimedia systems conference, targeted at the systems aspects of handling audio, image, video, and graphics data. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domians to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically.

ACM International Workshop on Ambient Media Computing: Media Data Integration (MDI 2009)

Full paper Deadline: July 5, 2009

Event location: Beijing, China
Event date: Oct. 23, 2009
URL: http://www.hkws.org/events/ACM-MDI2009
Sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia

In multimedia computing and management, ambient/ubiquitous/pervasive media integration is attracting a lot of attention. In particular, we are seeing large quantities of media data generated from various sources and presented to users. New emerging applications, such as digital entertainment, gaming, and e-learning, often require multimedia data objects that can be of different modality yet semantically relevant to be integrated in order to meet various requirements and achieve user objectives. While human brains can "integrate" media data objects naturally by fusing and associating them quickly, existing multimedia computing and processing techniques, unfortunately, do not provide adequate support to facilitate ambient media data integration automatically and semi-automatically. This workshop aims at addressing the various issues and challenges in ambient media data integration.
