Call for Papers Overview The demand for multimedia transmission over wireline or/and wireless networks is growing dramatically. Multimedia transmission is characterized not only by a large amount of required data-rate, but also by a significant variability of the data-rate over time, due to the dynamics of scenes, when state-of-the-art video encoding techniques are employed. One of the focused issues in improvement to multimedia transmission quality is to combine the characteristics of the video applications and wireline or/and wireless networks. Traditional approaches, in which the characteristics of the video application and the wireline or/and wireless networks are isolated, would induce the resources not being optimized. Cross-layer design (CLD) is a new paradigm in network architecture design that not only takes the dependencies and interactions among the layers of the conventional OSI structure into account, but also attains a global optimization of the layer-specific parameters. Ho wever, most existing CLDs for QoS provisioning in multimedia communications are mainly either aiming at improving throughput of the network or reducing power consumption, yet regardless of the end-to-end qualities of multimedia. Therefore, the application-driven cross-layer design over various multimedia communication systems is needed to be extensively investigated. Topics This workshop aims to present the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of application-driven cross-layer designs for multimedia communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Application-driven cross-layer architecture for multimedia over wireless communications Application-driven cross-layer architecture for real-time multimedia streaming Application-driven resource allocation, scheduling, and admission control Application-driven cross-layer MAC and routing protocols Cross-layer design for multimedia over 4G networks (IMT-Advanced, WiMAX networks) Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless sensor networks Content-aware cross-layer design and optimization Performance evaluation of quality-driven cross-layer design Cross-layer Design, implementation and test-bed results for multimedia communications Complexity and scalability issues in cross-layer design Media quality measurements for communications applications  Important Dates:   Paper Submission Deadline: May 08, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: June 01, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: June 15, 2009
