Because of a 3000 persons NATO conference in
Ottawa, during the same week as ACM MM2001, it is STRONGLY advised that you
make your
Hotel reservations by July 31, 2001, and by no
means later than Aug. 31, 2001, else you risk commuting to Ottawa from Montreal
(120 miles)!!
WELCOME
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRS!
Welcome
to the 9th ACM Multimedia Conference, held Sept. 30-Oct.5, 2001 in Ottawa,
Ontario, the capital city of Canada. This beautiful city is often called
"Silicon Valley North" because of the high concentration of major
telecommunications and software companies, such as NORTEL, ALCATEL, CISCO,
MITEL, COREL, COGNOS, JDS Uniphase, Entrust and many others. The conference
complements this setting by presenting and exploring technological and artistic
advancements in multimedia. Technical issues, theory and practice, artistic and
consumer innovations will bring together researchers, artists, developers,
educators, performers, and practitioners of multimedia. This conference is
sponsored by NTT, ALCATEL, HP, Fuji-Xerox Palo Alto Laboratory, the Association
for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its special interest groups SIGMM, SIGGRAPH,
and SIGCOMM.
The conference would not have been a success without help from so many people
who have our special thanks. We thank the members of the Technical Program
Committee; each one spent countless hours finding experts to review submitted
papers, reviewing papers themselves, and helping us select the very best
papers. We also thank the paper reviewers who generously spent many hours
reviewing papers and providing valuable feedback to the authors. We received
over 280 paper submissions and accepted only 45 of them—an acceptance rate of approximately
16%.
We also thank: Forouzan Golshani and all
reviewers of the poster paper program who did an excellent job in selecting 22
short papers, from approximately 61 submissions (in addition, the conference
Program Committee selected 13 papers from the pool of long papers submitted to
be modified for poster presentation; bringing the total number of short papers
to 35), presented during the conference reception as part of a focus on
research-in-progress; Kien Hua who assembled a set of 22 exciting demonstrations
of Multimedia technology; S. (Panch) Panchanathan who organized a very
impressive program with 10 tutorials on cutting edge topics.
Brigitte
Kerhervé did a tremendous job of selecting three outstanding workshops on
emerging topics. Tamer Özsu organized an exciting plenary panel and Ketan
Mayer-Patel did again a wonderful job of organizing this year's doctoral
symposium. Vincent Oria did a splendid job in chasing the authors and
organizing the papers for the proceedings. Roger Price has been working on the
electronic proceedings since 1997.
A
number of people deserve special thanks for helping with the logistics of the
conference. Dwight Makaroff, and François Malric acted as webmasters and ensured
that all information pertaining to the conference was available in a timely
manner. Michael Vernick spent again much effort in promoting the conference as
Publicity Chair. Lisette Burgos, Maritza Nichols, Ann
Ferrara and Irene Frawley of ACM played
multiple roles in providing valuable assistance. Terry D’Angelo and Merilyn
Cheek of OCRI provided invaluable assistance with all the local arrangements
and registration, as also did many student volunteers from the University of
Ottawa organized by Mojtaba Hosseini. Ersal Aslam and Kenneth Ronkowitz
of NJIT Media Services designed the nice proceedings cover.
Lastly,
Larry Rowe, the ACM SIGMM Chair, has provided so much valuable assistance with
the planning and operation stages of the conference. We are very much in debt
to his guidance and leadership for this conference.
