Kyoto, often called "Japan's heartland", is not simply protecting its old traditions and culture, but is rather building upon the rich traditions of predecessors as a foundation for open domestic and international exchange. With this revolutionary spirit, we have created the SIGCOMM2007 logo based on Japanese calligraphy. We also used a bamboo grove as our conference symbol; you might have noticedthat it shows a TCP 3-way handshake over IPv6. 收起

This year we received a group of 161 submissions in all areas of mobile and wireless systems. The submitted papers came from 37 countries, and the accepted papers from 22, reflecting the truly international nature of MSWiM. The submissions included a large number of papers of very high quality making the selection process difficult and competitive. We had a two phase review process: in the first phase, most papers received 3 or more reviews, based on which we classified them as clear accept, clear reject and discuss. In thesecond phase, the Technical Program Committee were asked to discuss the papers in the discuss category to reach an informed decision on them. In the end, we selected 40 regular papers, which represent a 24% acceptance rate. The members of the technical committee have recommended an additional 15 short papers for the program. In addition, the MSWiM 2007 technical program includes three distinguished keynote talks, five one-day workshops, four tutorials, a poster session and a demo session.

We selected the following three outstanding papers for candidates for the best paper award:

1. "Analysing QoS Trade-offs in Wireless Sensor Networks," Rob Hoes, Twan Basten, Chen Khong Tham, Marc Geilen, and Henk Corporaal
2. "An Efficient Bandwidth Guaranteed Routing for Ad Hoc Networks using IEEE 802.11 with Interference Consideration" Hakim Badis
3. "On Optimality of Single-Path Routes in Massively Dense Wireless Multi-hop Network,s" Esa Hyyti*#228; and Jorma Virtamo

The winner among these three papers will be announced at the conference dinner, and it will be reported in next year's proceedings. The best paper award in last year's conference (MSWiM 2006) was won by the following paper: "The Power of Choice in Random Walks: An Empirical Study," by Chen Avin and Bhaskar Krishnamachari. 收起

ACM Multimedia is the premier annual professional meeting for communicating the state-of-the-art in multimedia research, technology, and art. As in previous years, starting with the first ACM Multimedia conference in 1993, the conference seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners in academia, industry, and government who are interested in exploring and exploiting new and multiple media to create new capabilities for human expression, communication, collaboration, and interaction. ACM Multimedia covers all aspects of multimedia computing: from underlying technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to networks to devices.

Multimedia is an interdisciplinary endeavor, and the variety ofconference events reflects this. The overall conference encompasses three major parts: interesting tutorials on Monday, September 24, an exciting three day main conference on Tuesday through Thursday, September 25-27, and a set of workshops in hot multimedia areas on Friday and Saturday, September 28-29.

The three-day main conference comprises several different technical program elements, each with separate submissions and reviewing: full papers, short papers, a panel, the doctoral symposium, a Brave New Topics session, technical demonstrations, a video program, an open source contest, and the Interactive Arts Program. We are excited to host two research keynote presentations by Prof. Wolfgang Wahlster of DFKI and the University of Saarland and Dr. Minoru Etoh of NTT DoCoMo, who will give unique perspectives of their research work in academia and industry. In addition two high-profile applications keynotes will be given by Dr. Fageth of CeWe Color, Europe's number one photo services company, and Dr. Lutz Heuser of SAP AG. 收起
