ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications is a peer-reviewed computer science journal published by the Association for Computing Machinery, founded in 2005 as the flagship journal of the ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia and covering multimedia computing, communications and applications, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.6.《ACM 多媒体计算、通信与应用汇刊》由（Association for Computing Machinery）出版，2005 年创刊，是（ACM）多媒体专委会的旗舰期刊，覆盖多媒体计算、通信与应用，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.6。

Scope

• The journal focuses on multimedia computing, including input and output devices, operating systems, storage systems, streaming media middleware, continuous media representations, media coding and media processing.刊物聚焦多媒体计算，涵盖输入输出设备、操作系统、存储系统、流媒体中间件、连续媒体表示、媒体编码与媒体处理。
• Multimedia communications form a second pillar, with real-time protocols, end-to-end streaming media, resource allocation and multicast protocols among the named topics.多媒体通信是第二大支柱，官方列举的方向包括实时协议、端到端流媒体、资源分配与多播协议。
• Multimedia applications complete the remit, spanning databases, distributed collaboration, video conferencing and three-dimensional virtual environments.多媒体应用构成范围的第三部分，覆盖数据库、分布式协作、视频会议与三维虚拟环境。
• The title serves as an archival venue for long-form multimedia research, sitting between fast-moving conference proceedings and comprehensive books.本刊定位为多媒体长篇研究的档案级发表园地，介于节奏快速的会议论文集与系统性专著之间。
• Recent issues show strong coverage of multimodal large models, three-dimensional reconstruction, action segmentation and person re-identification, reflecting the field's shift towards deep learning.近期刊物显示对多模态大模型、三维重建、动作分割与行人重识别等方向的强力覆盖，反映出领域向深度学习的转向。
• Special issues are a regular feature, often grown out of the ACM Multimedia conference and edited by guest editors drawn from the community.特刊是常规组成部分，多由（ACM Multimedia）会议延伸而来，并邀请学界同行担任客座编辑。
