The 16th ACM Multimedia Systems Conference will be held from March 31st to April 4th, 2025 in Stellenbosch, South Africa

Full research papers are expected to present significant research contributions with detailed system design, analysis and evaluation. All accepted papers must be presented in person. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three TPC members.

Submissions are solicited on all aspects of multimedia systems, including but not limited to:

Please note that there are two independent deadlines for submission to the Full Research Papers track. Authors can submit papers to either or both deadlines. Authors of rejected papers in the first round may submit their revised papers to the second round only if they address the majority of concerns raised by the reviewers in the first round. A summary of the revisions must be included in the paper; otherwise, the paper will be automatically rejected.

All accepted papers must be presented in person.

We follow the ACM Policy on Authorship (approved by the ACM Publications Board on April 20, 2023) which state the following:

Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of an ACM published Work. The use of generative AI tools and technologies to create content is permitted but must be fully disclosed in the Work. For example, the authors could include the following statement in the Acknowledgements section of the Work: ChatGPT was utilized to generate sections of this Work, including text, tables, graphs, code, data, citations, etc.. If you are uncertain about the need to disclose the use of a particular tool, err on the side of caution, and include a disclosure in the acknowledgements section of the Work.

Basic word processing systems that recommend and insert replacement text, perform spelling or grammar checks and corrections, or systems that do language translations are to be considered exceptions to this disclosure requirement and are generally permitted and need not be disclosed in the Work. As the line between Generative AI tools and basic word processing systems like MS-Word or Grammarly becomes blurred, this Policy will be updated.

For further details and additional policies, please check the ACM website and the related Frequently Asked Questions here.

Authors of papers submitted in the first round that have received a Revise and Resubmit recommendation are invited to submit a revision of their submission and a response to reviewers by the second submission deadline (November 22nd, 2024). Note that author lists are not allowed to be changed after the review period has started. No new authors may be added during the revise and resubmit period, or for the camera-ready version due to potential conflicts of interest (see ACM policy here).

• Submission length: Up to 10 pages plus references
• Submission format: Double blind using ACM proceedings style format (two-column LaTeX template with document class \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart})
