CALL FOR PAPERS
The First IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Computing and Communications
(MCC'09)
Story continued on
The First IEEE International Workshop on IP Multimedia Communications (IPMC) and
The Second International Workshop on Multimedia Analysis and Processing (IMAP)
August 2 - 6, 2009
San Francisco, CA, USA
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and
Network (ICCCN) 2009
The explosively growing momentum behind worldwide broadband deployment and the
emerging convergence of voice, image, video and data services offer the base
for various modern multimedia applications and services such as mobile TV,
multimedia messenger and blog, social networking, video conferencing, Internet
gaming, interactive TV, IPTV, and multimedia visualization, navigation,
management, search and retrieval. The advances of computing and communication
over wired and wireless networks and new technologies ranging from multimedia
coding, network infrastructure, content distribution protocols, quality of
service (QoS) management to post-processing and analysis, have stimulated more
diversified multimedia applications and services.
In recent years, the emerging new techniques have been employed to effectively
integrate context and content for multimedia mining, management, indexing and
retrieval. The semantic and sensory gaps, which are difficult or even
impossible to bridge using traditional approaches, have been narrowed to
facilitate many real-world multimedia applications. Popular applications and
services such as youtube, facebook, Google, Windows Live messenger, myspace,
and variations are breaking the media monopoly of big content and distribution
companies, new multimedia based social networking applications demand even more
efficient and intelligent multimedia search and mining capabilities. The
increasing service requirements by multimedia consumers inspire the rapid
developments of interface design, interactive models, communication
infrastructure, mobile devices, etc. In addition, the advances of video coding
make many bandwidth-hungry video communication applications possible. Novel
video source and channel coding techniques such as multiple description codes,
transcoding, and network coding can certainly improve the efficiency of video
transmission over the Internet. New communication protocols such as
peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies further significantly improved the video
broadcasting quality due to its distributed architecture that is capability to
provide scalability, inherent robustness and fault tolerance to the best
effort-based Internet. On the other hand, IPTV, built on managed IP network, is
growing rapidly, targeting at providing high quality video viewing experience
that is at least as good as what is offered by today's cable/satellite TV. At
the same time, advances in wireless network technologies and video delivery
mechanisms such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and the 3G and 4G cellular systems
provide alternatives to their wired peers, allowing users to access and produce
video at any time from anywhere.
The challenges for those applications and services to be successfully deployed
range from limited computation power considering the rich media content,
difficulty in content analysis and understanding, to the state of the transport
network. Besides, better video viewing experience always calls for better
compression algorithm, data rate adaptation, adaptive error control, and error
concealment technologies. A central theme in all these efforts is novel
approaches and solutions for multimedia computation and communications. The
purpose of this workshop is to provide a professional forum for industry and
academic researchers from around the world to present their state-of-the-art
accomplishments, exchange latest experiences, and explore future directions for
multimedia computing and communications. Topics covered include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Multimedia content analysis, representation, and understanding
Content, user, computation, and network aware media engineering
Multimedia management in social networking environment
