ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Emerging Multimedia Systems (EMS)

Call for Papers

Multimedia has played a significant role in driving Internet usage and has led to a range of technological advancements such as content delivery networks, compression algorithms, and streaming protocols. With emerging applications, including (not limited to) augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), real-time conferencing, AI-generated content, and video analytics, multimedia is undergoing a fundamental shift in sharing experiences online and continues to drive the future of the Internet. Techniques developed for traditional video streaming should be revisited in light of these next-generation immersive technologies and require us to introduce new ways to optimize and innovate emerging multimedia systems. This Workshop will bring together multimedia experts to exchange ideas on challenges and opportunities in designing networked systems for emerging multimedia technologies.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following:

Networked systems for immersive content capture, streaming, display
Networked systems for AI-driven video applications
Networked systems for multimedia generative AI
Machine learning for emerging multimedia distribution
Ultra-low-latency networking for AR/VR applications
High-throughput transport and distribution for emerging media
Adaptive streaming under network/user constraints for immersive media
Novel content distribution network for AR/VR applications
Management of AR/VR networked systems
Wireless and mobile immersive systems
AR/VR applications in 5G & 6G wireless networks
Compression and transmission design for 3D content
Edge cloud systems for immersive experiences
Quality of Experience for emerging multimedia
Security and privacy in AR/VR applications

Submission Instructions

Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not in submission to other venues. Submitted papers must be at most six pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format (https://github.com/scyue/latex-sigcomm18). We also encourage research demos for which a two-page extended abstract must be submitted in the same format as the workshop papers. All submissions are double-blind.

Please submit your paper via https://emergingmedia23.hotcrp.com/.
