Research carried out by the Distributed and Interactive Systems (DIS) group from Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has resulted in contributions to this year's ACM Multimedia Conference (ACM MM 2023). Since its inception in 1993, ACM Multimedia is the worldwide premier conference and a key world event to display scientific achievements and innovative industrial products in the multimedia field. It is the flagship of the ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (ACM SIGMM) which provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects of multimedia computing, communication, storage, and applications. We keep helping the SIGMM community, with Pablo Cesar in the executive committee and acting as Editor in Chief of the SIGMM Records, the SIGMM quarterly magazine. Silvia Rossi is also leading the SIGMM Records as Information Director.
This year, ACM MM will be held in Ottawa, Canada from October 29 to November 2, 2023. During the conference Pablo Cesar will participate at the SIGMM retreat, an important occasion for the leadership of SIGMM, ACM Multimedia and other SIGMM conferences to discuss the most important challenges that the multimedia community is now facing.
The workshop “Interactive eXtended Reality”, co-organised by Irene Viola, will be held on October 29, with presentations from Ashutosh Singla and Silvia Rossi. On October 30, a panel titled “On the Impact of Interactive eXtended Reality: Challenges and Opportunities for Multimedia Research” will be held and moderated by Irene Viola.
Below, we highlight these main contributions of the DIS group to the conference (2 workshop papers, 1 workshop and 1 panel).
