Deadline for  Technical Demonstration Submissions:  Fri 6 Jun 2008

ACM International Conference on Multimedia

Call for Technical Demonstrations

ACM Multimedia 2008 invites you to submit a technical demo. Technical
Demos should demonstrate leading edge work in any area of multimedia
technology and its application.

Submissions are particularly encouraged in the areas of haptics,
smell, sensors, novel interface design, 3D multimedia and immersive
technologies, wireless multimedia applications, multimedia-based
security applications, digital rights management, multimedia
databases, content analysis, content-based retrieval, multimedia
storage, multimedia networking, media processing, entertainment,
compression, hypermedia authoring, multimedia social networking and
innovative applications.

Each submission should consist of a 2 page paper (which will be
included in the proceedings if accepted) and a
presentation/video. Please zip all files into one, and add the EDAS
number at the end of the file name before uploading it. The paper
should be prepared in double-column ACM proceedings style, and use PDF
for the documents. The two files should be packed into one using zip
for upload where each file is named using the assigned EDAS paper
number. The submission should be registered and the zip'ed file
uploaded through EDAS . More submission instructions are available
here.  All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure quality. An
award will be given for the best technical demonstration, as judged by
an evaluation panel. Demonstrators will be provided with space and
access to a local network (but the demo should not rely on the
Internet access). The participants will be required to provide their
own computing equipment and any additional network, display, haptic,
sensor, etc., hardware needed for the demonstration.
