KOM – Multimedia Communications Lab
There will be a local Multimedia Workshop "on Hot Topics in Multimedia Research" at TUD-KOM organized by the ACM Multimedia Organizing Committee on June 21, 2008. This workshop has been held in conjunction with the ACM MM TPC meeting in the past five years, and it has offered great opportunities for local researchers and students as well as PC members to interact with each other and discuss latest multimedia research.
Attendance is by invitation only. If you are member of ACM MMs TPC please indicate during registration for TPC meeting whether you are interested to participate and to present your research topics.
