SCOPE:
Over the last decade there has been a rapid growth of wireless
communication technology. Voice communication using cellular phones has
matured and become a significant part of our life today. In the recent
past, the emergence of portable computing devices such as notebook
computers and personal digital assistants have led to the opportunity
of such services as electronic mail, fax and calendar/diary programs
being provided to mobile or roving users. Observing this trend, it can
be predicted that the traffic over next generation, high-speed wireless
networks will be dominated by personal multimedia applications such as
video/news-on-demand, telemetry services, traveler information systems,
WWW browsing, and so on.
The 3rd Generation Wireless activities are focused through the
effort
of UMTS and IMT-2000 are considering the ATM technologies for the network
implementation. The recent activities at 3GIP forum is actively
considering
the use of IP technology for the future wireless network. The wideband
wireless network using IP technology is becomming an important industry
issue
and the seamless integration of the wireless standards and wireless IP and
mobility standard are necessary to create this future network. The role of
the different IP technologies like SIP, HTML, XML, Netmeeting for wireless
and mobility are not finalised and will require considerable discussion to
obtain the resolution. Also, the wireless access techniques like
Bluetooth,
WAP etc may require seamless intregration to the 2.5G (GPRS) and 3G
wireless
standards.
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for
researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in
the form of technical paper, panel discussions, as well as online demos
of service applications or technology related to wireless multimedia.
The issues and challenges for the development of wireless multimedia
networks not only encompass a broad spectrum of research topics such as
quality-of-service provisioning, broadband wireless, network support,
prootocols, or handover, but also involves a way to envision the evolution
of multimedia networks in the future.
TOPICS:
Technical papers and/or product demos are solicited in all areas
related to wireless multimedia and its interfaces (or co-existence) with
the conventional wireline networks. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Third Generation Systems
- Multimedia Applications
- Fixed or Mobile Wireless Multimedia Access
- Wireless Network Evolution
- Broadband Wireless
- Wireless ATM and Wireless IP
- Multicasting in Wireless Services
- Delay and Jitter Management for Multimedia Services
- Synchronization of Multimedia Wireless services using ATM and IP
- Quality-of-Service amd Admission Control
- Multimedia Network Architecture and Protocols
- Compression Techniques
- Mobility Management & Handover Issues
- Routing
- WWW Browsing
- Telemetry Services
- Broadcast Data
- Mobile Agents

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should E-mail
a PostScript version of their full paper to wowmom-2000@engr.ucr.edu .
This E-mail address will become available by February 15, 2000. In order
to ensure that the PostScript versions of the papers can be printed,
authors should be careful that their papers meet the following
restrictions:
- PostScript version 2 or later.

(i.e. Courier, Times, Roman, or Helvetica); other fonts may be used
but must be included in the PostScript file.
- No longer than 20 pages including, pictures, tables and references.
In addition, authors should separately E-mail the title, author names
and full address, and abstract of their paper to the Program Co-Chairs:
Satish K. Tripathi at tripathi@engr.ucr.edu and Kalyan Basu at
kbasu@nortel.com. It is expected that all accepted papers will be
presented at the workshop.
The Workshop Proceedings will be published by the ACM Press. Selected
papers
will be considered for publication in the ACM/Baltzer WINET and MONET
journals.
(WoWMoM'99 and WoWMoM'98 proceedings are available on the ACM digital
library.)
