                                 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.
