Bridging Deep Media and Communications
The ACM Multimedia Systems Conference (MMSys) provides a forum for researchers to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems are regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating systems, real-time systems, databases, mobile computing, distributed systems, computer vision, and middleware communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to investigate the intersections and the interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types.

Such individual system components include
Operating systems
Distributed architectures and protocols
Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers
Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia
New I/O architectures/devices, innovative uses and algorithms
Representation of continuous or time-dependent media
Metrics and measurement tools to assess performance
This touches aspects of many hot topics including
Content preparation and (adaptive) delivery systems
HDR, games, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, 3D video
Immersive systems, plenoptics, 360-degree/volumetric video delivery
Multimedia Internet of Things (IoT)
Multi and many-core, GPGPUs
Mobile multimedia and 5G, wearable multimedia
Cloud-based multimedia, P2P
Cyber-physical systems
Multi-sensory experiences, smart cities, QoE


We encourage submissions in focus areas of
Machine learning and statistical modeling for streaming
Volumetric media and collaborative immersive environments
Fake media and tools for preventing illegal broadcasts
