[[[ Call for Special Session Proposals ]]]
ACM ICMR is one of the leading Conference series in the Multimedia
research field. In 2021, ACM ICMR will be held in Taipei, Taiwan
during July 12 and 15.

We are planning to host one or more Special Sessions on innovative
and frontier topics in the field of multimedia retrieval. Special
sessions differentiate from the regular sessions in the sense that
they address very specific problems or very focused communities. They
should attract the presentation of innovative contributions in the
targeted narrow domain. The Special Session papers (6 pages) will
appear in the ACM ICMR 2021 proceedings and will be presented at the
conference in a dedicated oral session. A typical Special Session
should target around 4-5 accepted papers.

[[ Important Dates ]]
- Proposal Submission Due:		Jan. 15, 2021
- Proposal Notification of Acceptance:	Jan. 31, 2021 (Tentative)
