MMSP TC --

As many of you have probably seen, the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia is now calling for nominations for the T-MM 2010 Best Paper Award.  Please consider nominating a paper for the award by April 15, as specified below.

FYI: Like ICME, the T-MM is a partnership between four IEEE Societies: SPS, ComSoc, CAS, and Computer.  As such, its awards process is different than the awards process for publications that are fully owned by the Signal Processing Society.  For SPS publications, the MMSP TC Awards subcommittee handles the awards process for papers in the MMSP area (and will begin to do so June 1), but for the T-MM our TC does not play an official part of the awards process.  However MMSP TC members, as individuals, are free to make T-MM paper nominations and are encouraged to do so since we are supposedly the multimedia domain experts from one of T-MM's four partner societies.
