ACM Multimedia Systems Conference 2019

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 10th ACM Multimedia Systems Conference (MMSys 2019) and associated workshops, held from June 18 - 21, 2019 in Amherst, MA, USA.

ACM 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 systems, real-time systems, databases, mobile computing, distributed systems, and middleware communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to investigate the intersections and the interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types.

ACM Multimedia Systems 2019 includes the following tracks:

Co-located with ACM Multimedia Systems 2019 are the following workshops:

  • MMVE 2019: 11th International Workshop on Immersive Mixed and Virtual Environment Systems
  • NOSSDAV 2019: 29th ACM SIGMM Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video
  • PV 2019: 24th Packet Video Workshop
  • MM’19 TPC Workshop: ACM Multimedia 2019 TPC Meeting and Workshop

Congratulations to all the winners!!!
