Objectives
The 13th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems
Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV) brings together
researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry
to present and discuss new ideas and future directions in networking
and operating systems support for all forms of networked human
interaction. From large immersive environments to portable wireless
multimedia devices, NOSSDAV covers a broad spectrum of cutting edge
multimedia research that strongly impacts infrastructure and the human
experience.
For 12 years, NOSSDAV has proven to be an outstanding forum for
researchers and developers involved in building innovative multimedia
systems, networks, and applications. NOSSDAV is strategically
positioned at the boundaries of applications and the operating
system/network, bridging the gap between highly demanding applications
and the infrastructure.
NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly
encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as
access grids, advanced telepresence and immersive applications,
wireless multimedia, multimedia security, and embedded multimedia
devices (e.g., Personal Video Recorders, etc.), among others. While
NOSSDAV is primarily a research forum, innovative experimental
commercial designs and prototypes are also welcome.
To ensure a productive workshop environment, attendance will be
limited to about 75 participants who are active in the field. A key
aspect of the workshop is that it provides extensive discussion
periods during which attendees can informally discuss their current
work and future research directions. Traditionally, NOSSDAV has
emphasized high quality experimental research based on prototype or
real systems. NOSSDAV 2003 will continue this tradition.
Submissions
Submissions are sought in any area related to Network and Operating
Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video. The topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
* ubiquitous multimedia services
* peer-to-peer multimedia services
* Internet telephony
* broadband streaming media content distribution
* 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments
* interactive network games
* wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems
* multimedia information appliances and consumer devices
* collaborative conferencing
* wireless multimedia
* access grids
* embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs)
* multimedia security
* sensory interactive applications
* digital rights management
We solicit submissions of 5-page extended abstracts of technical
papers, work-in-progress reports, and position statements. Papers
should identify new problems and explain why they are important,
challenge conventional wisdom, advocate a specific solution, and/or
report on actual experience with real systems. All submissions will be
reviewed by the members of the program committee. Submissions will be
selected on the basis of their originality, technical merit and
topical relevance, as well as the likelihood that the ideas will lead
to insightful technical discussions. Papers submitted to NOSSDAV must
not have been published or submitted elsewhere. Please do not submit
abbreviated versions of journal or conference papers.
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present at the workshop
and publish full-length versions of their papers in the workshop
proceedings.
All submissions must be made through the web. We suggest that authors
use the two-column ACM format for the submissions. Detailed paper
submission guidelines will be available here in January.
