Call for Demo/Videos

 

ACM Multimedia is the premier international conference in the area of multimedia within the field of computer science. The 2025 ACM Multimedia Conference takes place in Dublin, Ireland, from 27 October – 31 October 2025. Multimedia research focuses on technologies that enable the use and exchange of content integrating the multiple perspectives of different digital modalities, including images, text, video, audio, speech, music, and sensor data.

As in previous years, ACM Multimedia will provide demonstration and video sessions. Demos and videos are intended as real, practical, and interactive proof of the presenters’ research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions, with the goal of providing multimedia researchers and practitioners with the opportunity to discuss working multimedia systems, applications, prototypes, or proofs-of-concept. Such a setting allows conference attendants to view and interact firsthand with live evidence of innovative solutions and ideas in the field of multimedia and to see leading-edge research at work.

Areas of Interest

Submissions are encouraged in all areas related to multimedia, as described in the ACM MM 2025 general call:  https://acmmm2025.org/research-topics/ 

Submission Guidelines

Please submit a two-page demo/video paper (excluding references) in standard ACM format. Please note that demo/video papers need not be submitted anonymously. No abstract submission is required; the full paper submission deadline is 30 May 2025.

Each demo submission should contain a link to a supplementary file, either in PowerPoint format (no more than 10 slides) or in video (no longer than 3 minutes) explaining the following:

  • The scientific or engineering concept behind the work?
  • The novelty of the work and how is the work different from existing systems or techniques?
  • The expected impact on the MM community?
  • What will be actually shown during the demo.
  • The type of interactivity will be supported.

Each video submission must be complemented by a preview version of the video (include a link to the video in the submission) to be presented at the conference. If the video itself does not contain sufficient information about the scientific and technical background, the novelty of the work and the expected impact on the MM community, then the submission should also contain a link to an additional file (PowerPoint or video) providing this information (please use some online storage for this). In addition, a one-page PDF file with a description of your demo configuration may be submitted if you have special requests. 

On-site Facilities Provided

Once accepted, demonstrators and video presenters will be provided with a table, a poster board, a power outlet and (shared) wireless Internet. Demo and video presenters are expected to bring with themselves everything else needed for their demo and video presentations, such as hardware, laptops, sensors, PCs, etc. However, if you have special requests, please inform us as soon as possible and we will do our best to arrange them.

Submission

Please submit your Demo/Video Paper via OpenReview by 30 May 2025
