CALL FOR PAPERS
    ACM MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CONFERENCE (MMSYS 2014)
            MARCH 19-21, 2014, SINGAPORE.

The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for
researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share
their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While
research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is
regularly published in the various proceedings and
transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time
system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across
these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This
provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and
interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed
across these domains to deal with multimedia data types.
Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating
research that addresses multimedia systems holistically.

Multimedia systems permeate many aspects of our daily life,
and are steadily developed further. MMSys is a venue for
researchers who explore:

- Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of
  multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance
  improves the state-of-the-art through new research results
  in one of more components, or

- Enhancements to one or more system components that provide
  a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for
  handling continuous media or time-dependent services.

Such individual system components include:

- Operating systems
- Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements
- Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers
- Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia
- New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices,
  innovative uses and algorithms for their operation
- Representation of continuous or time-dependent media
- Metrics, measures and measurement tools to assess performance

This touches aspects of many hot topics: DASH, games,
virtual environments, augmented reality, 3D video, immersive
systems, telepresence, multi- and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile
streaming, P2P, Clouds, cyber-physical systems – explore the
connections on http://www.mmsys.org

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 members
of the technical program committee. Full papers will be
evaluated for their scientific quality. Accepted papers must
reach a high scientific standard and document unpublished
research.

Best papers' authors will be invited to submit a modified
version of their contribution to the ACM TOMCCAP
(Transaction on Multimedia Computing, Communications and
Applications) journal.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should be between 6 and 12 pages long (in PDF format)
prepared in the ACM style and written in English.

The unusual length of MMSys papers is meant to enable
authors to present entire multimedia systems or present
research work that builds on considerable amounts of earlier
work in a self-contained manner. MMSys papers are published
in the ACM Digital Library; they are available for just as
long as journal papers and authors should not feel compelled
by space limitations to publish extended works on top of an
MMSys paper. Authors who submit very specific, detailed
research work that does not require such brevity are
encouraged to use less than 12 pages.

IMPORTANT DATES

Full Paper Submission Deadline: October 4, 2013 (extended, firm, deadline)
Acceptance Notification: November 25, 2013
Camera Ready Deadline: January 15, 2014
