CALL FOR PAPERS
9th ACM Multimedia and Security Workshop Dallas, Texas, September 20-21, 2007 http://wcl3.tamu.edu/mmsec07/

The 9th ACM Multimedia and Security Workshop will be held in Dallas, Texas.  Its objective is to identify key future research issues
in the areas of multimedia security and protection, robust media transmission, manipulation and recognition, and the detection of
hidden communications.
We expect the workshop to motivate this research and to establish fruitful relationships with key actors from academia, industry,
and government in the US, Europe and Asia. It will consist of invited papers, full papers, short papers, and a rump or a panel
session. This event continues a successful series of workshops started in 1998.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

-Discussion of emerging technologies in digital multimedia authentication, encryption, identification, fingerprinting, steganalysis,
and secure multimedia networking;

-Identification of critical high impact research problems addressing specified deficiencies in the field of secure multimedia
distribution and consumption;

-Formulation of target applications of identified technologies in both the commercial, civilian, and military sectors;

-Exposition of legal and business issues connected to multimedia security.

SCOPE AND PAPERS

Papers addressing issues of secure multimedia processing, transmission, and consumption are welcomed.  Both theoretical concepts
dealing with fundamental performance issues and application-oriented contributions within this scope will be considered.  Soft ware
and hardware demos are highly encouraged.

Topics include but are not limited to:

Multimedia watermarking, fingerprinting and identification Multimedia network protection, privacy and security Multimedia
authentication and encryption Secure multimedia system design, presentation and computing Signal processing in the encrypted domain
Steganography and steganalysis Security evaluation benchmarks Digital media forensics Data hiding in biometrics Practical systems
exhibiting data hiding characteristics Emerging applications Legal and business issues as well as their interaction with
technological development

In particular, this call for papers requests full papers with a high degree of innovation, short papers with interesting
improvements of prior art, and position papers on new ideas and research directions. Full papers should be 6-12 pages long, short
papers 4-6 pages long (and in ACM format http://www.acm.org/sigmm/). Accepted papers will be published in the ACM workshop
proceedings.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 17, 2007 *** NOTE EXTENSION ****
