ACM MMSys Series

Call for Expressions of Interest for Hosting

The MMSys steering committee invites expressions of interest for hosting the conference and its associated workshops in 2023, 2024 and 2025. MMSys encourages potential organisers to think creatively on ways to increase participation, encourage interaction and discussion, and promote diversity and inclusion.

While not a formal deadline, we are encouraging expressions of interest to be submitted by December 15th, 2021 if possible with invited full proposals to follow. Particularly, we are in immediate need to identify potential hosts for 2023.

Conference Background and History

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.

MMSys is held in conjunction with two to four associated workshops over a 3-4 day time period. The conference is permanently co-located with the International Workshop on Network and Operating System Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV) and has traditionally also included the Workshop on Multimedia Virtual Environments (MMVE). Other workshops that have been co-located with the conference include: Packet Video (PV), GameSys, NetGames, and Mobile Video (MoVid). Other recurring features of the conference include:

• Open Dataset and Software Track
• Demo and Industry Track
• Doctoral Symposium (introduced in 2021)
• Sponsored Grand Challenges
• Artifact Reviewing and Badging
