Call for Demos

The demonstration track at MMM 2027 invites submissions of novel, interactive, and compelling multimedia systems, prototypes, tools, and applications. Demos provide an excellent opportunity for authors to present working systems to the multimedia research community and to engage directly with conference participants. We welcome demonstrations that showcase innovative ideas, practical solutions, emerging technologies, and real-world applications across all areas of multimedia modelling, analysis, retrieval, generation, interaction, and understanding.

Accepted demonstrations will be presented during the conference, allowing attendees to interact with the systems, explore their functionality, and discuss technical details with the authors.

Scope:

Demo submissions may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Multimedia indexing, mining, retrieval, and recommendation
• Multimedia abstraction, summarisation, annotation, and tagging
• Multimodal analysis and semantic understanding
• Multimedia content generation and foundation models
• Interactive multimedia systems and applications
• Extended reality, immersive media, and virtual environments
• Egocentric, wearable, mobile, urban, and satellite multimedia
• Multimedia analytics, visualisation, and authoring tools
• Multimodal question answering and conversational AI
• Multimedia systems for cultural, educational, social, medical, and industrial applications
• Responsible, interpretable, robust, and trustworthy multimedia systems

Submission Guidelines:

Demo papers must follow the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. Each submission should be no longer than 6 pages, with up to 2 additional pages for references. The paper should clearly describe the proposed demonstration and include the following information:

• Title: A concise and descriptive title for the demonstration.
• Authors: Full names, affiliations, and contact information for all authors.
• Abstract: A brief summary of the demo, up to 2,000 characters, highlighting its objective, novelty, key features, and expected user interaction.
• System Description: A clear explanation of the system design, implementation, main components, and functionality.
• Technical Requirements: Details of any required hardware, software, devices, network access, display equipment, sensors, cameras, VR/AR devices, or physical space.
• Relevance to MMM: A clear explanation of how the demo contributes to the MMM community and advances multimedia research, systems, or applications.
• Interaction with Attendees: A description of what conference participants will be able to see, try, or experience during the live demonstration.
• Demonstration Video and Setup Appendix

In addition to the main paper, authors must include an appendix of up to 1 additional page containing: - A link to a demonstration video of up to 3 minutes. The video is an important part of the submission and should clearly demonstrate the system’s functionality, interaction design, and feasibility for presentation at the conference. - A short description of what attendees can expect to see during the live demo. - A clear explanation of how attendees will be able to interact with the system. - A summary of any special setup requirements, such as power supply, internet access, display equipment, sensors, cameras, VR/AR devices, or required physical space.

Review Process:

Demo papers will be reviewed through a single-blind peer-review process. Submissions will be evaluated based on novelty, technical quality, relevance to MMM, clarity of presentation, level of interactivity, and feasibility for live demonstration.

Important Dates:

All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone.

• Demo paper submission deadline: 07 September 2026
• Acceptance notification: 16 October 2026
• Camera-ready deadline: 01 November 2026
• Conference: 05–08 January 2027

Presentation and Registration Policy:

MMM 2027 will be held as a primarily onsite conference. At least one author of each accepted demo must register for the conference and should present the demonstration at the conference venue. Authors are responsible for preparing and bringing any special equipment required for their demonstrations, unless otherwise agreed with the demo chairs.

Submission:

Demo papers should be submitted through the official MMM 2027 submission system. Submission link: https://www.conftool.pro/mmm2027/
