M O B I M E D I A

Third International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference

( <outbind://1/www.mobimedia.org> www.mobimedia.org)

27-29 August 2007

Nafpaktos Greece

Technical Sponsored by ACM SIGMM, Eurasip

Scope

The successful development of multimedia services and applications in
mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach
where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly.
Multimedia semantic characteristics, Human Interpretation of audiovisual
information, extraction and usage of semantic information, coding
standards and its interaction with networking, mobility and security
protocols are research issues that need to be carefully examined when
proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that will be enabled
by the new standards for mobile networking, such as triple services for
mobile networks, digital television, video streaming, interactive
gaming, navigation services, context aware services, and immersive
communications in virtual environments. The efficient delivery of
multimedia applications and services over emerging diverse and
heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging research objective. The
research effort for the 3G/4G vision of interworking among heterogeneous
technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia
QoS characteristics etc., amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions
and restrictions under which delivery of such services can be
accomplished. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a
unique international forum for researchers from industry and academia,
working in multimedia coding, and mobile networking fields to study new
applications, solutions, and standards. Original unpublished
contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice
in the integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant
provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications.

Research Areas:

* Multimedia semantic characteristics in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous

environments

* Multimedia QoS in wireless networks

* Extraction and usage of semantic information

* Performance evaluation of multimedia services

* Multimedia Retrieval in wireless and mobile environments

* Mechanisms supporting triple-play services in emerging wireless

networks

* Scalable Coding of multimedia in wireless and mobile networks

* Cross-Layer techniques for multimedia communications over wireless

networks

* Joint source-channel coding

* Multimedia services over ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks

* Rate Control and Adaptation for wireless multimedia

* P2P multimedia streaming in wireless and mobile networks

* Transport protocols for multimedia in emerging wireless networks

* Mobile Content Delivery Networks

Technical program:

The conference will also include invited panels to facilitate for
exchanging ideas and discussion, and specific sessions and workshops on
focused interest areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops and
special sessions on emerging topics are invited. Please submit proposals
to Technical Program Chairs and Workshop Chairs.

 

Paper submission and publication:

Mobimedia 2007 invites manuscripts that present original materials not
previously published in, or currently under review by, another
conference or journal. Submissions should be full-length papers of up to
7 pages or short papers of up to 4 pages (including all figures and
references) formatted according to
<http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html>
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.

Full-length papers should report on completed work and will be
considered for oral presentations. Short papers should report on work in
progress or discuss open problems, and will be considered for poster
presentations. A separate abstract of no longer than 200 words should be
submitted as well. Submissions will be judged by their originality,
significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Papers will
be submitted by electronic submission through COCUS system:
<http://cocus.create-net.it/> http://cocus.create-net.it. Accepted
papers will be published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings
Series and will be made available in ACM Digital Library, as well as
indexed by EI and ISI Index.

 

Workshops:

Two workshops will run in parallel with Mobimedia General Conference
entitled &#8220;Workshop on Context Aware Mobile Multimedia Systems and
Applications&#8221; and &#8220;Workshop on Convergence among Mobile
Multimedia Services and Fourth- Generation Wireless Networking
Standards: Technical Challenges and Users? Perspectives&#8221;

Important dates:

Deadline Paper Submission: 30 April 2007

Notification of acceptance: 08 June 2007

Submission of camera-ready papers: 02 July 2007

Students award and grants:

Five student prizes will be awarded to the best papers authored by full
time students as first author.
