For the past twenty-three years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2009 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and is hosted by University of Hawaii at Manoa and Chaminade University of Honolulu.

Authors are invited to submit original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical program via the various tracks hosted by SAC 2009. Peer groups with expertise in the track focus area will blindly review submissions to that track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings and made available at the ACM digital library.

Multimedia and Visualization & Human-Media Interaction Track (MMV)

Track scope:

The themes Multimedia, Visualization and Human-Media Interaction relate to principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to understand, create, manage, visualize and maintain multimedia in general and interactive media in particular. The aim of this track is to bring together researchers from academia and industry who are actively engaged both in theoretical and practical aspects of these multidisciplinary themes.

Track topics:

Topics and technologies relevant to the track include (but are not limited to): - adaptive multimedia - automatically generated media and multimedia - computer supported collaborative work - human-multimedia interaction and human-media interaction - human-media interaction by persons with disabilities - interacting with digital artifacts - interaction life cycle and processes - interactive video - interactive multimedia - interacting with mobile devices - interacting with sensors and other hardware devices - interaction and media-related markup languages - interactive TV - multimedia standards, models - multimedia supported collaborative work - multimodal interaction languages and APIs - multimedia authoring tools and systems - multimedia presentation - multimedia synchronization and temporal aspects - multimedia structure and content analysis - multimedia categorization, classification and mining - multimedia storage, indexing, and retrieval - multimedia high dimensional index structures - multimedia-related metadata and ontologies - performance of multimedia systems - structured interactive multimedia - video services - visualization via browsing, navigation, querying - visualization from modeling, analysis, mining and knowledge discovery - visualization with augmented reality and virtual reality - visualizing multi-dimensional data, textual data, multimedia data - visualization infrastructures, services and applications for specific domains

Submissions:

* Prospective papers should be submitted per track * Paper template: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm * Submission website eCMS: http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/ * Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2009 Website * Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed * Double blind review: The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review.
