ACM Multimedia is the premier international conference in the area of multimedia within the field of computer science. Multimedia research focuses on integration of the multiple perspectives offered by different digital modalities including images, text, video, music, sensor data, spoken audio. A special part of the conference is the art program, which explores the boundaries of computer science and art.

IEEE IRI 2019http://www.sis.pitt.edu/lersais/iri/2019/index.htmlThis conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information reuse explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for applying integration approaches in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, panels and keynote speeches.
