CALL FOR PAPERS


International Workshop on Ubiquitous Multimedia Systems and Applications
(UMSA'09)

ICUMT 2009 - Satellite Workshop

October 12-14, 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia

Technically sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Communications Society

[Web: http://www.icumt.org/w-18.html]

The increasing number and capabilities of mobile devices and the ubiquity of
wired/wireless communications define a new design paradigm for the development
of multimedia systems and applications that could be accessed anytime, anywhere
(ubiquitous systems and applications, usa for short).
The research challenges emerging from this vision demand for a holistic approach
involving a diverse group of experts in different technical areas. The
International Workshop on Ubiquitous Multimedia Systems and Applications
provides an open forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share
their research experience, original results, and practical developments on the
specific issues that emerge when developing new systems and applications for
ubiquitous multimedia management. Authors are solicited to submit complete
unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas:
- Adaptive/context-aware/ubiquitous/wireless multimedia applications and systems
- Multimedia content distribution systems for usa
- Wireless/ad-hoc/sensor/RFID networks for usa
- Ubiquitous multimedia streaming with mobility, QoS, and multicast support
- Human-computer interaction for usa
- Emerging standards and technologies for usa
- Business model for usa
- Cooperative networks for usa
- Knowledge discovery mechanisms for usa
- Profiling ubiquitous environments
- Ubiquitous technologies for education, learning, and training
- Wearable, Mobile, Nomadic computing for usa
- Information retrieval and filtering for usa
- Context and management and processing for usa
- Data replication, migration and dissemination for usa
- Multimedia content recognition, indexing and search for usa
- Mobile graphics, games and entertainment for usa
