Barcelona was founded on the Mediterranean coast, between two rivers, over 2,000 years ago. Since then, it has been the traditional gateway to Spain. Through it entered Romans, Arabs and Christians, as well as the many diverse cultures, which came to enrich its heritage. The traces of this history and diversity can be followed as you walk through the city; through its Gothic Quarter, built on the Roman ruins; through its art-nouveau Eixample district, presided over by Gaudí’s exuberant architecture, which at the same time reveals an ordered and rational urban layout. This diversity and harmony are also apparent in the character of the people of Barcelona, who are enterprising and hard-working, enjoy life and, in particular, have great civic pride and are lovers of culture. These “multimedia” characteristics have made Barcelona into a first-class tourist destination and the ideal setting for meetings and congresses. This open, welcoming city, which shed its skin and opened up to the sea in order to host the 1992 Olympic Games, has since then focused its energies on another major global project: the 2004 Forum of Cultures. This event, the renewed expression of Barcelona’s vocation to be an international benchmark for meetings and dialogue, has made it possible to complete the city’s seafront, and improve significantly its range of services in the field of congresses, hotels and catering and culture. In a nutshell, Barcelona is the perfect venue for ACM Multimedia and we hope you will enjoy Barcelona as much as its inhabitants do it every single day! ACM Multimedia is the premier conference and worldwide event bringing together multimedia experts and practitioners across academia and industry. The central feature of the conference, which continues this year as in every year since its inception, is the outstanding Technical Program. This year’s conference features both oral and poster presentations covering all aspects of the multimedia field chosen through a highly selective review process. In addition to the Technical Program, this year’s conference features a diverse range of activities including Panels, Demonstrations, and Tutorials. Additionally, a wide array of Workshops brings focus on new topics for investigation.
