EditorialWelcome to the first issue of the SIGMM Records in 2012. You can find a total of six PhD thesis summaries, calls for three prestigious SIGMM Awards, a report from ACM Multimedia 2011, and quite a bit more. ACM Multimedia 2011The 2011 edition of SIGMM's flagship conference, ACM Multimedia, held between November 28th and December 1st, 2011, in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. Many new ideas were introduced in 2011, which were meant to lower the barriers between various MM sub-communities, boost cross-fertilization of ideas among the contributors and attendees across the various MM events, and maximize the return-on-investment for participants.

The ACM Multimedia Grand Challenge 2011 in a NutshellWhen the ACM Multimedia Grand Challenge was started in 2009 it was a radical idea: instead of submitting conference papers on solutions to self-imposed problems, scientists from the multimedia community were encouraged to engage in problems formulated by industry sponsors, called the Grand Challenges. The 2011 ACM Multimedia Grand Challenge proved to be the most competitive so far. This article provides a quick summary of the competition. Open Source Column: Tribler: P2P Search, Share and StreamTribler is an open source P2P file sharing program that has been introduced six years ago. It is built around BitTorret, but the Tribler team has continuously worked on addressing known flaws of BitTorrent. It implements remote search, streaming, channels and reputation-management in a completely distributed manner, and is still fully backwards compatible with BitTorrent. |
