[Tccc] Mobimedia 2007-Submission Deadline is approaching!

C A L L F O R P A P E R S
=============================
3rd International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference
(M O B I M E D I A 2 0 0 7)

Supported by ACM, EURASIP
Nafpaktos, Greece, August 27 - 29, 2007

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 Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can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.

The topics of interest 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
* 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
