CALL FOR PAPERS

Int'l Symposium on Multimedia over Wireless (ISMW 2009)
in conjunction with

The 5th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing
Conference

(IWCMC 2009)

21-24 JUNE 2009, LEIPZIG, GERMANY

http://www.iwcmc.com/

One of the key elements in the convergence of future networks and
services to IP technology is the efficient support of rich multimedia
applications and services over wireless networks including sensor and
mesh networks. The delivery and transport of multimedia in such
wireless environments, to heterogeneous mobiles and users, is very
challenging. The multimedia services should face many shortcomings
caused mainly by the wireless channel unreliability and its sharing
among many users, limited bandwidth, random time-varying fading
effect, different protocols and standards, etc. Future multimedia
services require innovation and advances in better MAC and
routing protocols, session establishment and signaling
architectures, cross-layer interaction and optimization, QoS
provisioning and continuity, adaptive transmission techniques,
and scalability support, among others.

The purpose of this symposium is to solicit high-quality
theoretical and practical research on the landscape of recent
advances on multimedia over wireless.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Architectures for wireless multimedia communications
- Multimedia over Cognitive Radio Networks
- Multimedia delivery over various types of wireless
networks (3G, 4G, ad hoc networks/relay, WLAN, WMAN, multi-hop
wireless,
and hybrid networks)
- Wireless video sensor networks
- Multimedia over wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) network
- Multimedia delivery for broadband vehicular networks
- QoS support for wireless multimedia networks
- Multimedia delivery over wireless embedded devices
- Scalable multimedia delivery over wireless
- Multimodal multimedia services
- Error resilience and concealment
- Joint source-channel coding and adaptive media delivery
- Cross-layer optimizations and interactions
- Interaction among (MAC), radio link control (RLC), IP and application
layers
- Wireless multimedia terminal and devices
- Wireless multimedia traffic modeling
- Multimedia delivery to energy-constrained embedded devices
- Multimedia over wireless testbeds and related research infrastructures
and demo
- QoS signaling and protocols for wireless multimedia
- Applications, best practices, and standard's support

All papers are limited to six printed pages, including text,
figures and references, and must be written in English and follow the
standard IEEE double -column format. The font size must be at least 10
points. All submissions will be handled electronically
through EDAS system at
http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6843& and must be in PDF
format. All submitted papers would be judged based on their quality
through a double peer -reviewing process. Accepted papers will be
published in the Conference Proceedings of IWCMC2009, which will
be included in ACM/IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Selected
papers will be further considered for possible publication in a
special issue of the Wiley Journal of "Wireless Communications
and Mobile Computing (WCMC)," and "International Journal of
Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS)". There will
also be best paper and best symposium awards.
