Call for Papers

16th IEEE Int'l Conference on Computer Communication and Networking (IC3N)
Hawaii, August 13-15, 2007

Symposium on
Multimedia Coding and Communication over Wireless and Mixed Networks

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstract:

Recent advances in computing and wireless communication technology leads
to the proliferation of mobile devices connected by a variety of
wireless links. This have opened up new opportunities for richer and
better multimedia applications like on-demand mobile video streaming,
mobile TV, peer to peer mobile video, surveillance and other security
related wireless video applications. The objective of the track is to
investigate approaches that can deliver better end-to-end multimedia QoS
for the content providers/consumers, improve the radio resource
utilization, and increase the network capacity for network operators.
These can include advanced source/channel coding, optimized media
streaming technologies, scalability and error-resilience in source
coding, adaptation, rate-less channel codes and their application in
media unicast / multicast streaming, cross-layer design of routing,
scheduling and resource allocation, multi-user collaboration schemes and
peer to peer streaming, distributed coordination and optimization
decomposition schemes for wireless multimedia networking, etc.

In this symposium, we seek original contributions that address issues in
source/channel coding and adaptation, wireless networking and
optimization. Research papers of particular merit in the symposium will
be invited for consideration of fast track publication in a special
issue for Journal of Advances in Multimedia, (
http://hindawi.com/GetJournal.aspx?journal=AM
<http://hindawi.com/GetJournal.aspx?journal=AM>). Topics of interest
include but are not limited to:

1. Signal process and media coding for wireless multimedia transmission
2. Scalability and error-resilience in multimedia streaming
3. Media transcoding and adaptation for wireless delivery
4. Digital fountain codes and its application in multimedia streaming
and broadcasting
5. Complexity reduction and energy efficiency in mobile multimedia
communication
6. Distributed (Wyner-Ziv) coding for complexity adaptation and
error-resilience
7. Joint source/channel coding and error control for wireless multimedia
broadcasting
8. Cross-layer optimization and multi-user collaboration in multimedia
wireless access network scheduling and resource allocation
9. Distributed optimization in wireless multimedia networking, auctions,
pricing schemes and game theoretical approaches.
10. Routing, scheduling, resource management, and session control in
multimedia communication over mobile ad hoc and mesh network
11. Graphics content coding and error-concealment for wireless mobile
gaming.
12. Applications and Architecture: Mobile TV, on-demand media streaming
13. Flow control and congestion control in wireless multimedia
14. Network coding in wireless multimedia

Important Dates:

• Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2007
• Notification of acceptance: May 11, 2007
• Camera ready papers due: June 1, 2007
