We would like to invite applications from all members of the multimedia research community to join and serve on the technical program committee (TPC) of ACM Multimedia 2022, either as Area Chair (AC) or Technical Program Committee (TPC) member. This call aims to broaden participation in the review process, and ensure a diverse set of TPC members, so that we form a strong technical program that includes a full range of perspectives.
ACs play a pivotal role in the review process of ACM Multimedia 2022. Each AC is responsible for handling the review process for up to 15 papers in his or her area of expertise, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of each submission, encouraging discussion, making a recommendation, and presenting the recommendation at the TPC meeting. An AC might also be contacted to assist other ACs in contentious papers to help finalize a recommendation before the TPC meeting (June 25th). The attendance of which is compulsory for ACs. The ACs are expected to work closely with the TPC co-chairs to manage the review process in the 3-month period 1 April to 1 July 2022.
TPC members provide constructive feedback to the authors and a detailed evaluation of 5-10 submissions to the ACs and TPC chairs to help form the technical program of ACM Multimedia 2022. Being a reviewer is a serious role as it serves as the frontline to ensure that rigorous, novel, and interesting scientific results get accepted and published while seriously flawed submissions do not. As such, reviewers can shape the progress and the direction of the research field in the long run. We ask that applicant reviewers be ready to commit serious time and effort in reviewing each submission if accepted into the TPC. The reviewing period will start on 1 April 2022 and run over 6 weeks until 13 May 2022. Responding to the author’s rebuttal and AC requests will run until 1 July 2022.
Here is a detailed schedule:
You can find more information in the Call for Papers and in the Reviewer and Area Chair Guidelines.
