Message from SIGMM Chair



Multimedia research area is getting more and more exciting as we see multimedia content playing more and more significant role in our lives. We see multimedia content on our local laptops, cell-phones, iPODs, to store, view digital photos and recorded home videos, listen to different songs, and collaborate among each other. We see multimedia content, stored on distributed/remote peers/servers, for disseminating, broadcasting, streaming and downloading music files, movies, images, graphics, and other multimedia content. We see multimedia content being exchanged, shared and used by diverse communities ranging from computing specialists, multimedia technology developers to artists, health-care providers, environmentalists, and other user groups.

Hence, jointly we need to press for multimedia computing, communications and application innovations and changes that will reach humanities, arts, sciences, and medicine. We are living in exciting times when digital video and audio are becoming available via different platforms, in multiple size and shapes, and the multimedia technologies will become pervasive and transformative across many boundaries. The Special Interest Group of ACM on Multimedia (SIGMM) is exactly the place to immerse you into this exciting and vibrant research area and be part of the transformation.

The SIGMM website is an excellent resource, developed by active and energetic multimedia researchers, for the benefit of the multimedia researchers, practitioners, and any other information seekers in this area.

We invite you to use it as you see fit. We also invite you to become an active contributor to this resource. Please, share your thoughts about making this site a useful, informative, and active resource to you so that we can together make multimedia technologies pervasive and ubiquitous across many boundaries. I would love to hear from you.
