We are continuously accepting submissions for the SIGMM's quarterly  
newsletter, the SIGMM Records, whose next edition will be published on  
June 30.

The SIGMM Records are a channel for researchers to disseminate their  
achievements to the multimedia research community at large. They are  
accessible through the SIG's website, the dedicated mailing list [log in to unmask] 
,  and the ACM Digital Library (ISSN number 1947-4598). You can find  
these editions  at the website:

Please visit the following newsletter web site that explains  
appropriate content and provides submission instructions:

Contributions that we solicit in particular are your statements and  
summaries about the state of particular research topics in multimedia,  
your views on the interaction between research and industry, and view  
of the future. We are also very interested in publishing abstracts of  
newly concluded PhD theses, news about SIG MM members who have been  
granted awards and conference/workshop reports from SIGMM-related  
events. We are also interested in including information about freely  
available code and data sets that could be of interest to the  
community, calls-for-paper for SIGMM-related events, opportunities for  
awards and open researcher positions.
