ACM Multimedia is the premier conference in the multimedia research field, which discusses emerging computing methods from a perspective where each medium — e.g. images, text, audio — is a strong component of the complete, integrated exchange of information. The multimedia community has a tradition of being able to handle big data, has been a pioneer in large scale evaluations and dataset creations, and is uniquely angled towards novel applications and cutting-edge industrial challenges. Therefore, the conference openly embraces new intellectual angles from both industry and academia, and welcomes submissions from related fields, such as data science, HCI and signal processing.

ACM Multimedia 2022 calls for research papers presenting novel theoretical and algorithmic solutions to address problems across multimedia and related application fields. The conference also calls for papers presenting novel, thought-provoking ideas and promising (preliminary) results in realizing these ideas.

The conference invites research papers with up to eight (8) pages of content, plus up to two (2) pages of references. Please note that there is no longer a distinction between long and short papers, but the authors may themselves decide on the appropriate length of the paper. All papers will undergo the same review process and review period. Special tracks, such as Brave New Ideas, Workshops, etc, will follow a separate dedicated review process.



The conference invites papers in four major themes of multimedia: Engagement, Experience, Systems and Understanding.
