FOREWORD
Welcome to the Fifteenth ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM 2007), held September 24-29, 2007 at University of Augsburg in the beautiful and historic city of Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany. The city was founded 15 BC in the reign of Roman emperor Augustus.
ACM Multimedia is the premier annual professional meeting for communicating the state-of-the- art in multimedia research, technology, and art. As in previous years, starting with the first ACM Multimedia conference in 1993, the conference seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, and government who are interested in exploring and exploiting new and multiple media to create new capabilities for human expression, communication, collaboration, and interaction. ACM Multimedia covers all aspects of multimedia computing: from underlying technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to networks to devices.
Multimedia is an interdisciplinary endeavor, and the variety of conference events reflects this. The overall conference encompasses three major parts: interesting tutorials on Monday, September 24, an exciting three-day main conference on Tuesday through Thursday, September 25-27, and a set of workshops in hot multimedia areas on Friday and Saturday, September 28-29.
The three-day main conference comprises several different technical program elements, each with separate submissions and reviewing: full papers, short papers, a panel, the doctoral symposium, a Brave New Topics session, technical demonstrations, a video program, an open source contest, and the Interactive Arts Program. We are excited to host two research keynote presentations by Prof. Wolfgang Wahlster of DFKI and the University of Saarland and Dr. Minoru Etoh of NTT DoCoMo, who will give unique perspectives of their research work in academia and industry. In addition two high-profile applications keynotes will be given by Dr. Fageth of CeWe Color, Europe's number one photo services company, and Prof. Lutz Heuser of SAP AG.
The program co-chairs for ACM MM 2007 are Alan Hanjalic, Sunghyun Choi, Brian Bailey, and Nicu Sebe, who were responsible, along with a program committee of 137 members, for selecting the long paper program in the areas of Content, Applications, Systems, and Multimedia Interactions. These tracks received 298 long paper submissions (113 in Content, 90 in Applications, 64 in Systems, and 30 in Multimedia Interactions). Each paper was reviewed by at least three qualified reviewers in a double-blind review process. The program committee met on June 14, 2007 in Delft, Netherlands to discuss the papers and make final selections for papers to be included as oral presentations in the conference program. This rigorous review process resulted in the acceptance of 57 long papers: 19 in the Content track, 18 in the Applications track, 13 in the Systems track, and 7 in the newly introduced Multimedia Interactions track. This represents an acceptance rate of 19 percent. We heartily thank the program co-chairs and the program committee members for their outstanding and dedicated work.
The short paper program received a record number of 255 submissions (a 43% increase over the previous year) and, after a thorough review process, accepted 70 papers resulting in an acceptance rate of 27 percent. These short papers will be presented during poster sessions at the conference. Many thanks to the short paper program co-chairs Chitra Dorai, Julien Laganier, and Susanne Boll for an excellent job.
3 We also wish to acknowledge and thank the co-chairs of the demonstration program, Wei-Ying Ma and Milind Naphade; the chair of the video program, Thomas Haenselmann; the co-chairs of the doctoral symposium, Thomas Plagemann and Vera Goebel; the new foundations co-chairs, Edward Chang and Shin'ichi Satoh; the open source competition chair, Apostol Natsev; and the panel co-chairs, Yap-Peng Tan and Mohan Kankanhalli. These chairs put in an enormous amount of work to bring us a diverse, high quality conference, and their contributions are much appreciated.
The Interactive Arts Program includes long and short papers as well as an exhibition that is housed at the new building site of the school of design at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg. We are in particular grateful to the school of design, not only because we are the first that are allowed to use the new building but also as the location is nicely situated between the city centre and the conference location.
The exhibition will run throughout the conference, and we encourage all attendees while they are on their way to or from the conference to view these novel works of art utilizing a rich variety of media. The Interactive Arts Program chairs - Frank Nack, Alejandro Jaimes, and Thomas Rist - did a wonderful job, working with their exhibition curators and program committee, to put together a first-rate arts program to complement the technology focus of the main conference. The competition was high and only 16 % of the submissions made it into the exhibition. We thank the co-chairs, but in particular Thomas Rist who took the largest burden as local chair, and all those who helped to organize and run this program.
This year’s conference schedule begins with seven half-day tutorials on a wide range of topics of interest to the multimedia community, from introductory to advanced, from machine learning for multimedia to a programming course for mobile phones, adeptly organized by the tutorial co-chairs Benoit Huet and Malcolm Slaney. After the main conference, six workshops are held on the final two days. Workshop co-chairs Belle Tseng and Daniel Gatica-Perez have done a great job working with the individual workshop chairs to ensure that these run smoothly.
We also wish to acknowledge and thank the publicity co-chairs, Wolfgang Effelsberg, Yong Rui, and Alf Zugenmaier; the registration co-chairs, Yi Wu, Marc Emmelman and Eva Hörster; the treasurer, Barbara de Vega; the technical program coordinator, Chitra Dorai; and the web chairs, Benedikt Gleich and Simon Hoffmann. These colleagues all contributed tremendously to the success of the conference. The proceedings chair, Roger Zimmermann, did an outstanding job putting together these multi-faceted proceedings. Special thanks go to the local arrangements co-chairs Gregor van den Boogaart, Jochen Lux, Simon Hoffmann and Susanne Boll, who worked tirelessly to ensure that the myriad details of the conference venue were addressed, including dealing with the inevitable emergencies and surprises along the way.
Thanks to the ACM and their special interest groups, SIGMM and SIGGRAPH, for co-sponsoring this event, and to Barbara de Vega for being always available to organize and think through the many little thinks that came up during the planning of this conference. We would also like to thank our supporters: CeWe Color, FXPAL, Google, IBM, Microsoft Research, SAP, Yahoo! Research, DoCoMo Comm. Labs Europe, MAN Roland, NEC, Philips Research, Ricoh, and the University of Augsburg for providing us with the nice conference facilities in the large lecture hall building of the physics department. We also thank the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg for hosting the arts program. Their generous support made several key aspects of the conference possible, including the various prizes, student travel, and the Interactive Arts Program. IBM awarded a student travel grant which enabled more students to attend the
4 conference. In this context we would also thank Arnon Amir for his hard work as the sponsoring chairs.
Finally, we wish to thank all of the contributors in every category; the work you do is the reason this conference exists. We invite all attendees to actively participate in the week’s activities: listen, learn, discuss, debate, appreciate, suggest, encourage, enlighten, and be enlightened.

MAPS
AUGSBURG TRAM LINES
7 The map on the previous page shows the Augsburg tram lines and how they connect the various conference sites. All tram lines intersect at Königsplatz, the city’s main transportation hub. To change lines, you have to go to Königsplatz first. Also, many conference hotels are within walking distance from Königsplatz.
The most important tram line for the conference members is tram number 3, with the end points ‘Stadtbergen’ and ‘Inninger Str.’, respectively. Line 3 connects the Augsburg central train station with the University of Applied Sciences (called Fachhochschule Augsburg, location of arts exhibitions) and the campus of the University of Augsburg (the main conference site). The end point of the tram line is always being displayed on the front and sides of the tram. It tells you in which direction the tram is currently travelling. Inside the tram, the next stop is always being announced and/or displayed.
To get to either conference site from downtown Augsburg, take line 3 in direction ‘Inninger Str.’. It leaves at Königsplatz platform ‘F’ every 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the current day and time.
The live arts exhibition at the University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule Augsburg) is only two stops away from Königsplatz: after getting off the tram at ’Rotes Tor’, it is just a three-minute walk along ‘Rote-Torwall-Staße’” to the Fachhochschule (see separate map below).
The University campus is roughly a 10 minute ride from Königsplatz. The stop to get off the tram is called ‘Universität’. You will find yourself right at the spot marked with an ‘H’ and labeled “Straßenbahnlinie 3 – Haltestelle Universität” as shown on the map on the previous page.
To get back to downtown from either site, get on any line 3 tram towards Stadtbergen. It will arrive at Königsplatz platform ‘G’. From there, you can either walk back to your hotel (in most cases), or change tram and bus lines, or catch a taxi.
LIVE ARTS EXHIBITION (at Fachhochschule Augsburg/University of Applied Sciences, Fakultät für Informatik)
The live arts exhibition takes place in the building marked „KLM“ on the right. The tram stop “Rotes Tor” is shown to the left. Simply follow “Rote-Torwall-Str.” along the ancient city walls.

The „Kurhaus“ in Göggingen was built in 1885 by Jean Keller on behalf of Friedrich von Hessing. It is an important monument of German architecture and engineering consisting of plastered brick combined with iron construction and large windows. In 1972 it was severely damaged by fire. It was re-opened in 1996 after extensive renovation. The Kurhaus in Göggingen is regarded as a jewel and unique testimony of late 19th century style. It is now used as a theater and convention facility.
