Multimedia Grand Challenge Submissions
New in 2010: any long, short or demo paper submitted to the regular ACM Multimedia conference can be considered for the Grand Challenge. Regular papers that want to be considered should submit a 1-page additional statement indicating why this work addresses a certain challenge best. In addition, papers, demonstrations and ideas that do not fit the normal scientific style may be submitted to the Grand Challenge by submitting a separate 4-page paper to the Grand Challenge only. (We are afraid that we will NOT consider papers in this path that have been rejected for the scientific program.)
A 1-page statement to accompany an accepted paper or a new 4-page grand challenge paper should be prepared in double-column ACM proceedings style and submitted via http://edas.info/N8591
The submissions must:
- Significantly address one of the industry challenges posted on the Grand Challenge web site.
- Depict working, presentable systems or demos.
- Describe why the system presents a novel and interesting solution.
A number of solutions (perhaps 10-20) will be selected as finalists and invited to describe their work, demonstrate their solution and argue for the paper’s success in the Grand Challenge Session in Florence. Each finalist will have several minutes to present their case. Final winner(s) will be chosen by industry scientists, engineers and business luminaries.
