We warmheartedly welcome you to the 24th ACM Multimedia conference, which is hosted for the first time in the Netherlands, in the wonderful city of Amsterdam. ACM Multimedia 2016 brings an extensive program consisting of technical sessions covering all aspects of the multimedia field in the form of oral and poster presentations, tutorials, panels, exhibits, demonstrations and workshops, bringing into focus the principal subjects of investigation, competitions of research teams on challenging problems, and an interactive art program stimulating artists and computer scientists to meet and discover together the frontiers of artistic communication. The call for contributions attracted submissions from all over the world, which were all thoroughly reviewed for their merit in terms of scientific quality, innovation, and match to the conference. In addition to these, the main program has two exciting keynote presentations, by Dirk Helbing from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, titled A digital world to thrive in -- How the Internet of Things can make the 'invisible hand' work and by Jack van Wijk from Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, titled Visual Analytics for Multimedia: Challenges and Opportunities. Furthermore, a visionary presentation will be given by the winner of the SIGMM Award for Outstanding Technical Contributions to Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications 2016, Alberto del Bimbo, from the University of Florence, Italy. The main program will conclude with the SIGMM Rising Stars Symposium, highlighting the scientific results and vision of the invited young researchers, who demonstrated great potential in multimedia research and who are considered to become future leaders in the multimedia field. The main program is accompanied by eight workshops to discuss challenging topics and six tutorials to bring you up to speed on important foundations of our multimedia field. The unique co-location of ACM Multimedia 2016 with the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2016) has brought the opportunity to have additional twelve invited tutorials from world leaders covering both multimedia and computer vision.
