Multimedia is a fusion of multiple types of data sources used to acquire, process, transmit, store, and utilize information. By appropriately utilizing multifarious information sources, it is possible to get a whole that is greater than sum of its parts. Multimedia researchers are developing techniques to take information beyond traditional text-dominated documents in all aspects of computing and communication.

The Special Interest Group of ACM on Multimedia (commonly called SIG MM) is a place to immerse you in this exciting and vibrant research area. This is a site developed by active and energetic multimedia researchers for the benefit of other researcher, practitioners, and other information seekers in this area.

We invite you to use it as you see fit. We also invite you to become an active contributor to this resource. Please share your thoughts about making this site a useful resource to you. I would love to hear from you.
