Editorial
Welcome to the SIGMM Records in 2011. An Interview with (Serious) Games ExpertsGames are relevant economic factor and prospering market, not only in the creative industries. They tackle research aspects in many ICT and multimedia technologies, and their technology and techniques are broadly used by other application domains. Unfortunately, the Multimedia research community does not consider games and game technology in depth so far. The aim of this article is to present the (doubtlessly existing) tight link between games (the game industry and game research) and multimedia technologies (the multimedia RTD community) and to encourage scientists and practitioners from both sides to communicate and profit from each other. |

MediaEval Multimedia Benchmark: Looking back on 2010 and looking forward to 2011MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative dedicated to evaluating new algorithms for multimedia access and retrieval. MediaEval puts emphasis on context and topic of video and aims at moving beyond what is explicitly depicted in the visual channel towards overall meaning and relevance to users. The MediaEval 2010 workshop was held just before ACM Multimedia 2010 in a medieval convent in Pisa, Italy. The day was dedicated to talks and discussion of the results that were achieved on MediaEval 2010 tasks. In this report from the 2010 event, you can read a short summary and listen to what participants had to say about MediaEval. SIGMM Education ColumnWelcome to the SIGMM Educational Column, where we highlight interesting and noteworthy multimedia educational activities around the SIGMM community. In this issue's column, we wish to highlight a course on Multimedia Security taught in the National Taiwan University (NTU), by Professor Wu Ja-Ling. Ensuring proper protection of digital media content is critical to the success of the modern media industry. Yet, only few existing courses focus on teaching the fundamental and the state-of-the-art in this topic. The course by Professor Wu is one of a few such courses. |
