Multimedia
Foundational Sciences / Brave New Topics
The ACM
International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM-2006) is seeking
to explore foundational sciences of multimedia research in the
form of Brave New Topics Sessions at this year's conference.
We solicit proposals for special sessions that examine basic
research forming the core multimedia research discipline. We
seek to emphasize those aspects that best differentiate
multimedia research from its related and constituent
disciplines, e.g.,
image processing, pattern recognition, natural language
processing, speech and signal processing, video technology,
information theory. By
providing specific focus on the foundations of multimedia
science, we wish to improve the ability of the multimedia
community to work together in advancing the field.
Example topics include but are not limited to: human-centered
multimedia systems, multimedia semantic analysis, multi-modal
systems, multimedia user experiences, multimedia in life
sciences.
Each Brave New Topics session shall be comprised of a
coordinated set of papers managed by the session organizer.
Proposals shall outline the scope of the session and the planned
contributors. The session organizers, together with the Brave
New Topics chairs, shall work together on organizing a final
session.
The Brave New Topics session is being handled as a separate
track at this year's conference. We expect to accommodate
between 2 and 4 Brave New Topics sessions. Since
acceptance is likely to be highly selective, we encourage you to
submit a short session proposal well in advance of the final
submission dates. We can provide feedback on your proposal or
help bring groups together in expanded sessions.
