Dear all,
  the deadline for ACM MMSys 2016 has been extended to December 11, 2015 (11:59:59pm PST) [1] . Please note that this is a hard deadline and no further extensions are planned.

Please find below the call for papers and I’d like to introduce some program highlights for #mmsys2016:
 - Dieter Schmalstieg will give a keynote on Advances and Trends in Augmented Reality Systems [2] which perfectly fits with the special session on AR [3] and also MMVE [4], both co-located with #mmsys2016
For #mmsys2016 we plan to have three overview talks as follows:
 - Bernhard Rinner, Smart Camera Systems [5]
 - Gheorghita Ghinea, Mulsemedia = multiple sensorial media = novelty or reinvention? [6]
 - Ali C. Begen, Video Delivery over IP [to-be-detailed]

A very preliminary overview of the program (subject to change) is also available here [7] and some details about traveling, accommodation, and social events can be found on https://mmsys2016.itec.aau.at/ <https://mmsys2016.itec.aau.at/> which is updated on a regular basis. We are working on further highlights, thus, please stay tuned!

Finally, I’d like to mention the DASH Industry Forum Excellence in DASH Award [8]

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us: [email-masked].

Thank you!
Best regards,
 -Christian

ACM MMSys 2016
May 10-13, 2016

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 system, realtime system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and the inter-play of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types.

MMSys is a venue for researchers who explore:

Complete multimedia systems that provide a new kind of multimedia experience or systems whose overall performance improves the state-of-the-art through new research results in one of more components, or
Enhancements to one or more system components that provide a documented improvement over the state-of-the-art for handling continuous media or time-dependent services.
Such individual system components include:

Operating systems
Distributed architectures and protocol enhancements
Domain languages, development tools and abstraction layers
Using new architectures or computing resources for multimedia
New or improved I/O architectures or I/O devices, innovative uses and algorithms for their operation
Representation of continuous or time-dependent media
Metrics, measures and measurement tools to assess performance
This touches aspects of many hot topics including but not limited to: adaptive streaming, games, virtual environments, augmented reality, 3D video, Ultra-HD, HDR, immersive systems, plenoptics, 360° video, multimedia IoT, multi- and many-core, GPGPUs, mobile streaming, P2P, clouds, cyber-physical systems.
