CALL FOR PAPERS

 

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MULTIMEDIA OVER WIRELESS
http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~haohong/wirelesscom05/index.html
Sheraton Maui Resort, Kaanapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii, USA
June 13-16, 2005

The rapid growth in interactive multimedia applications, such as video
telephonies, video games and TV broadcasting has resulted in spectacular
strides in the progress of wireless communication systems. The current third
generation(3G) wireless systems and the next generation (4G) wireless
systems
in planning support higher bit rates. However, the high error rates and
stringent delay constraints in wireless systems are still significant
obstacles for these applications and services. On the other hand, the
development of more advanced wireless systems provides opportunities for
proposing novel wireless multimedia protocols and new applications and
services that can take the maximum advantage of the systems.

The symposium aims to provide an excellent forum for all experts working in
these areas to join together and to discuss various important issues on
multimedia over wireless. The timing of this symposium is set such that the
ideas that come out of it can affect the evolution of 4G. The papers
submitted to this symposium should focus on the state-of-the-art research in
various important areas related to emerging technologies and standards on
the
coding and transmission of multimedia information over wireless networks. We
solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but not limited to
the following subjects:

- Advanced multimedia coding algorithms
- Error resilient and error concealment
- Video quality assessment
- Rate control for wireless video
- Scalable and multiple description multimedia coding and transmission
- Joint source-channel coding
- Efficient transport protocols for wireless
- Optimal resource allocation for energy-efficient wireless multimedia
- Cross-layer multimedia communication system design and optimization
- Proxy-based systems for video transcoding and content distribution
- Lightweight video encoding methods based on distributed source coding
- Quality of Service issues
- Multimedia processing for wireless sensor networks
- Wireless multimedia traffic modeling

Only original and unpublished paper will be considered. Prospective authors
are invited to submit papers of no more than six (6) pages in double-column
IEEE format including results, figures and references. Paper will be
accepted
only by electronic submission as a PDF file sent to Prof. Zhihai He
(HeZhi@missouri.edu) or Dr. Haohong Wang (haohongw@qualcomm.com) before
February 15, 2005. The symposium awards the best papers. Outstanding papers
on video communications will be invited to extend to full version for a
special issue of the Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile
Computing.
