PETS2025 at AVSS2025 – Call for participations

We are pleased to announce the 2025 International Challenge on Performance Evaluation of Tracking and Surveillance (PETS2025), which will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Visual and Signal-Based Systems (AVSS 2025). The focus of PETS2025 challenge is multi-authority, multi-sensor maritime border surveillance, and it comprises the following three tasks:
  1. Object Detection: Detecting and classifying targets (vessels, vehicles, and people) in maritime and coastal environments using multi-platform, multi-spectral sensors (e.g., RGB, SWIR, UV, and Thermal from ground sensors and UAVs).
  2. Long-term Multi-Target Tracking: Tracking multiple targets across diverse terrains.
  3. Geolocation Approximation: Estimating the geolocations of specific targets using UAV imagery and telemetry data alone.
The deadline for submitting challenge results is 15th June 2025. All participating teams will be invited to co-author a joint challenge summary paper, which will be published at AVSS 2025. Note that only the Object Detection task is mandatory; the other two tasks are optional.
Further details can be found on the official challenge website: pets2025.net
We would be very grateful if you would consider participating or kindly help us disseminate this invitation within your network.

DEADLINE APPROACHING: Call for Brave New Ideas, Datasets, Demos and Art

33rd ACM International Conference on Multimedia

Dublin, Ireland 27-31.10.2025

Websitehttps://acmmm2025.org/

ACM Multimedia is the premier international conference in the area of multimedia within the field of computer science. The 2025 ACM Multimedia conference takes place in Dublin. Ireland, from 27 October – 31 October 2025. Multimedia research focuses on technologies that enable the use and exchange of content integrating the multiple perspectives of different digital modalities, including images, text, video, audio, speech, music, and sensor data.

CF Brave New Ideas

The Brave New Idea (BNI) Track welcomes papers containing original ideas and research vision that draw attention to novel directions in multimedia research. We are particularly calling for papers offering: (1) novel, exploratory solutions with sufficient evidence of proof-of-concept; (2) visions describing a new or open problem in multimedia research; (3) a novel perspective on existing multimedia research; and (4) connecting old concepts or theories to current development that could lead to new directions. BNI papers are considered as outstanding ACM MM full papers, and accepted BNI papers will appear in the main conference proceedings.

Submission Deadline: May 30, 2025

Website: https://acmmm2025.org/call-for-brave-new-ideas/

Contacts: please contact the BNI Chairs: <bni@acmmm2025.org>

CF Datasets

For the first time this year, ACM Multimedia is calling for papers constructing and describing new datasets that will be of interest to the ACM MM community. Accepted papers will be presented between 29-31 October 2025 during the main conference in the main conference space. All submissions will be juried by the datasets track program committee.

Submission Deadline: May 30, 2025

Website: https://acmmm2025.org/datasets/

Contacts: please contact the Interactive Art Chairs: <datsets@acmmm2025.org>

CF Demos/Videos

As in previous years, ACM Multimedia will provide demonstration and video sessions. Demos and videos are intended as real, practical, and interactive proof of the presenters' research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions, with the goal of providing multimedia researchers and practitioners with the opportunity to discuss working multimedia systems, applications, prototypes, or proof-of-concepts. Such a setting allows conference attendants to view and interact firsthand with live evidence of innovative solutions and ideas in the field of multimedia and to see leading-edge research at work.

(Virtual Presentation/Physical)

As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing,
data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The
data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy
and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning,
artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing
exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or
industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores
hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for
more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal
hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations,
and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new
possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its
structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is ongoing. There is a
great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does
not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing
models and systems for analysing large datasets.

Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact
on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the
generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this
conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management,
the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected
organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology
strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight
current open research directions in data analytics that need further
attention.

The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to

Data applications in various domains and activities
Data in cloud
Real-world data processing
Data inaccuracy and reliability issues
Data Ecosystem
Business Analytics
New data analytics techniques
Physical and management challenges
Synthetic data
Data synthesis
Crowdsourcing and Sensing
Data modelling
Deep learning techniques
Data fusion
Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and
Prescriptive analytics
Machine learning impact on data processing
Network optimization
Data in Biomedical Engineering
Data in Materials science and mechanics
Data handling and applications in domains
Wireless Networking Data Management
Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems
Multi-media Systems Data
Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data
E-Computing Data
Renewable Energies Data
