A key innovation for ACM Multimedia 2011(MM'11) is the transition from tracks to areas, which represent broad, cross-cutting themes of interest to the multimedia community. Authors will identify a primary area and a secondary area for their submitted paper. ACM Multimedia 2011(MM'11), seeks contributions in 10 broad areas, including (1) multi-modal integration and understanding in the imperfect world, (2) media analysis and search, (3) scalability in media processing, analysis, and applications, (4) multimedia systems and middleware, (5) media transport and sharing, (6) multimedia security, (7) media authoring and production, (8) location-based and mobile multimedia, (9) human, social, and educational aspects of multimedia, (10) arts and contemporary digital culture. Details of each area can be found on the ACM Multimedia 2011(MM'11) website, which will be public soon.

Proposals for accompanying Workshops are also solicited on topics pertinent to the main conference that demand a dedicated coverage due to their relevance to the current multimedia research and development.

Awards will be given to the best paper and best student paper as well as best demo, SIGMM Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis in Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications. We shall give awards to best art program paper and exhibition.
