*** Call for datasets ***
The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, 
engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in 
multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems 
is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the 
networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys 
aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This 
provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the 
various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with 
multimedia data types.

As an integral part of the conference since 2012, the Dataset track provides an 
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to make their work available (and 
citable) to the multimedia community. MMSys encourages and recognizes dataset 
sharing, and seeks contributions in all areas of multimedia (not limited to MM 
systems). Authors publishing datasets will benefit by increasing the public 
awareness of their effort in collecting the datasets. 

In particular, authors of datasets accepted for publication will receive:
* Dataset hosting from MMSys for at least 5 years
* Citable publication of the dataset description in the proceedings
* 15 minutes oral presentation

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 members of the technical 
program committee. Datasets will be evaluated by the committee on the basis of 
the collection methodology and the value of the dataset as a resource for the 
research community. 

TPC:
Xavier Anguera, Telefonica Research, Spain
Cyril Concolato, Telecom Paristech, France
Petros Daras, Informatics and Telematics Institute, Greece
Rene Kaiser, Joanneum, Austria
Martha Larson, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
Noel O'Connor, Dublin City University, Ireland
Mohammad Soleymani, Imperial College, UK
Christian Timmerer, Klagenfurt University, Austria
Wei Tsang Ooi, National University of Singapore, Singapore
Wanmin Wu, University of California at San Diego, USA

Authors interested in submitting a dataset should:
1. Make their data available by providing a public URL for download
2. Write a short paper describing the format of the data collected, the 
methodology used to collect the dataset, and basic characterizing statistics 
from the dataset.

Papers should be at most 6 pages long (in PDF format) prepared in the ACM style 
and written in English. Submissions should be appropriately anonymized.

Previous accepted datasets (and short papers) can be accessed at 
http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~claypool/mmsys-dataset//


*** Call for demos ***
The Demo session is intended as an arena where researchers, either the 
traditional research community or industry, can display practical proof of 
their research ideas. Demos should be an implementation of a new system, or 
improvements of components within a known system, that is described in an 
accompanying demo paper. The subject area of the Demo Sessions is the same as 
for the MMSys conference; see a detailed description under in the Technical 
Sessions page.

The demo paper should be up to 6 pages long; in PDF format; in ACM style; 
written in English; and contain information on the following:
-    What will be demonstrated?
-    How will it be demonstrated?
-    What is the novelty of the work?
-    Name at least one example of how the research can benefit present or 
future applications.

Authors of accepted demo papers will receive the following:
-    Citable publication of the Demo submission in the proceedings of MMSys 
2013.
-    Presentation of the Demo in a special purpose Demo Session.
-    Presentation of the Demo in the reception area (some dedicated spaces can 
be arranged)

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 members of the Technical 
Program Committee.  Demos will be evaluated on the basis of their quality, 
relevance to MMSys subject area, timeliness, potential for present or future 
applications and importance for present or future research.

It is possible to submit a demo with a one page description instead of the demo 
paper. These contributions will be eligible to be demonstrated, but not for 
citation through inclusion in the MMSys proceedings.
