EditorialDear Member of the SIGMM Community, Welcome to the first issue of the SIGMM Records in 2012. We provide you with a report from the ACM Multimedia 2011, including links to the digital library for all papers, of course. As part of the conference, the Grand Challenge was arranged. The report from the 2011 Grand Challenge can be found in this issue, as well as the Grand Challenges that have been posed by industry for the next round. You should read the article and attack the 2012 Grand Challenges in time for ACM Multimedia 2012. It is time to nominate your candidates for three of SIGMM's prestigious awards: the Nicolas Georganas TOMCCAP Award, the SIGMM Award for Outstanding Technical Contributions to Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications, and the SIGMM Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis in Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications. You find the calls in this issue. You can read PhD thesis summaries provided by a total six candidates who have recently passed their doctoral exams.

Free material is offered to you in this issue: you can read an article about Tribler, an open source P2P system.
