CALL FOR PAPERS


6th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment
(NIME'10)

ICME 2010 - Satellite Workshop

July 19-23, 2010, Singapore

Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society

THEME AND SCOPE
The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost
reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the
entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology
traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in
network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater
interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences,
such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and
orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an
extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas,
such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games,
animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and
software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes
interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication
is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large
interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to
millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that
the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the
consumer expectations. The Sixth IEEE International Workshop on Networking
Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers,
engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and
research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts,
technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing
deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited
to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to,
topic areas:

Applications for Entertainment
* Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games
* Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session
* Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...)
* Home LANs, Body and Personal Area Networks for Entertainment
