Scope
-----
The development and deployment of the multimedia services and applications
in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach
where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly.
Different type of semantic characteristics of media, human interpretation
of audiovisual information, coding standards and interaction with
networking, mobility and security protocols are research issues that need
to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. The efficient
delivery and deployment of multimedia applications and services over
emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging
research objective. The research efforts e.g. for the 3G/4G and 3G LTE
visions 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. The demand for efficient
multimedia communications can be also seen as one of main driving forces
towards the Future Internet and Post-IP solutions. The interoperability of
applications, transport and network protocols and radio access, as well as
the demand for improved quality of service and user experience, security
and mobility support creates a challenging study field and also
possibilities for research of novel communication protocols and methods
towards the Future Internet. In addition for the technical challenges
caused by the increased amount of multimedia usage and delivery through
different community services, peer-to-peer networks, Web, Internet IPTV
etc. the multimedia delivery is also affecting to industry value chains,
commerce transactions between businesses (B2B), and business and customers
(B2C). 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Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the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.
The conference key reseach areas include, but are not limited to
* Application and channel coding paradigms, including for
example joint source and channel coding paradigms, scalable
video coding, wireless and ad hoc network solutions,
ciphering and authentication.
* Networking and transmission mechanisms including for example
transport and network protocol solutions, cross-layer
techniques, rate control and
adaptation mechanism for video delivery, impact of mobility
and heterogenous networks in multimedia delivery and p2p
content delivery
* Multimedia services, business models and concepts, including
for example new business models and service concepts, trust
and security paradigms for multimedia delivery, test beds and
experimentation platforms for multimedia delivery.
Papers
------
The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously
published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Multimedia semantic characteristics in wireless, mobile and
ubiquitous environments
* Multimedia QoS in wireless networks
* Extraction and usage of semantic information with multimedia
* 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
* Test and experimentation test beds for multimedia delivery
* Impact of heterogeneous wireless network environment and
mobility
* Trust and security in multimedia delivery
* Service concepts and new business models
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
Paper submission and publication
--------------------------------
MobiMedia 2008 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
(including all figures and references) formatted according to ACM
publication template. Full-length papers should report on completed work
and will be considered for oral 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. 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.
Poster sessions and demonstrations
----------------------------------
MobiMedia 2008 invites the poster and demonstration session parallel with
the main conference event. These short papers should report on work in
progress or discuss open problems, and will be considered for poster
presentations. A maximum of 4 page proposal for poster/demonstration
presentation for the session should be submitted to the Poster Session
co-chairs. For information on exhibit space or sponsorship opportunities,
please contact the corresponding conference Poster and Demosession Chair,
General Chairs and Conference Organizing Chairs. Contact information
can be found at URL:http://www.mobimedia.org
Workshops and special sessions
------------------------------
Proposals for one-day workshops or special session to be held in
conjunction with the conference are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should
be submitted which include the workshop name, its scope and a list of
topic of interests. Proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chairs.
