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
