Co-Sponsorships and In-Cooperations
During the past year we have co-sponsored five conferences:
-
Conference: MM&Sec '06: Multimedia and Security Workshop, MM&Sec06; Geneva Switzerland; 26-Sep-06 to 27-Sep-06
-
MMCN 2006: Multimedia Computing and Networking, San Jose, California, Jan 28 – Feb 1, 2007..
-
Conference: NOSSDAV '07: The 17th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video NOSSDAV07; Urbana IL USA; 04-Jun-07 to 05-Jun-07.
-
Conference: C&C'07: Creativity and Cognition 2007,
Washington DC USA; 13-Jun-07 to 15-Jun-07.
-
Conference: CIVR '07: International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval 2007; Amsterdam Netherlands; 09-Jul-07 to 11-Jul-07.
SIGMM was financially responsible for NOSSDAV and Multimedia & Security Workshop. We provided in-cooperation support for the other conferences. Multimedia continues to be a popular topic. The ACM Multimedia Conference continues to be viewed as high quality and popular with the research community.
SIGMM was started as a conference-only SIG with a Steering Committee. Financial support was provided by SIGGRAPH and SIGCOMM, amongst other SIGs. Over the past several years, SIGMM has matured into a group that supports itself. Discussions continue with SIGGRAPH to reduce their financial responsibility for the Multimedia conference. SIGMM will continue to offer our conferences and workshops in cooperation with other SIGs and professional societies.
Officers
Following ACM SIG guidelines, we conducted elections for officers of SIG Multimedia in 2007. Following officers were elected for the two year term and continued their service this year:
Chairperson: Prof. Klara Nahrstedt (University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign)
Vice Chairperson: Prof. Wolfgang Effelsburg (University of Mannheim, Germany)
Conference Chairperson: Dr. Nevenka Dimitrova (Philips Research)
Summary
In summary, we had a very productive year. Our flagship conference continues to be a premier conference and had its first presence in Asia. The health of the multimedia community continues to remain strong. Given increasing attention to multimedia on the Web, we expect to see increasing activity in some areas, such as Multimedia Information Retrieval, in the coming year. Overall, we had a great year.
