Call for Contributions
Submission date: 20. June 2009
Dear members of the ACM SIGMM community:
The creation of a quarterly electronic newsletter for the ACM SIG Multimedia community was proposed at the ACM Multimedia in Augsburg in 2007 and the first edition was published in January 2008.
After a year of eNewsletter publications, the position of the newsletter is going to be strengthened in 2009 by replacing it with the SIGMM Records that will be accessible through the SIG's website and the ACM Digital Library.
New issues of SIGMM Records will be announced through a dedicated mailing list or through an RSS feed. For details, watch the SIG's website.
We await your contributions by 20. June 2009. Please follow the links provided below to see the information that is required for a particular submission to the newsletter. All contributions that were appropriate for the SIGMM eNewsletter will also be appropriate for the SIGMM Records. You can use the provided forms to create an email contribution or send an email directions to enews-contributions@sigmm.org but please do not hesitate to contact us at the same email address with ideas for contributions related to book reviews, comments, paper errata or outrageous statements that you would like to make known.
PhD thesis abstracts
To achieve its goal of strengthening the dissemination of research and in order to get to know the members of the community, the newsletter will feature abstracts of recently concluded PhD theses.
