I was browsing the MM papers and found the following statistics very amusing. (See here for the original source.) Notice the unusually low submission (and high acceptance) rate in 2009. What is causing this? A natural explanation is that the recession prevented many people from attending (and thus submitting) to a conference held in a relative remote place like Beijing. Anyone else has better ideas?

That should be a bug or mistake of ACM digital library.
The 22 of 32 accepted rate is for ‘MM&Sec ’09 Proceedings of the 11th ACM workshop on Multimedia and security’
