CALL FOR PAPERS

2nd International Workshop on IPTV Technologies and Multidisciplinary
Applications (IWITMA 2010)

IEEE ICME 2010 - Satellite Workshop
July 19-23, 2010, Singapore

Website - http://imde.cio.umh.es/iwitma2010.html

Scope and Topics

The 2nd International Workshop on IPTV Technologies and
Multidisciplinary Applications (IWITMA 2010) will be a one-day event
focusing on recent advances in IPTV technology and applications.
IWITMA 2010 will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International
Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME 2010) in order to profit from
the attendance at IEEE ICME as well as providing this group with
recents advances in video that will impact the networks of the future.

The workshop will present innovative technical papers on all aspects
of IPTV and converged applications delivery as well as on novel
approaches video transmission and network architectures for video. In
addition to these papers the workshop intends to have ample time for
discussion amongst participants on topics randing from industry trends
to actual and future implementation.

The workshop seeks innovative technical papers on all aspects of IPTV
in multimedia broadcasting, including architectural standardization,
content protection, quality of service and quality of experience,
middleware, etc.

The following IPTV related topics are included as to attract
attendance from both academia and industry:

• Architectures for IPTV systems especially those targeting
multiscreens and combining mobility
• IPTV Service deployments, interactivity, Social TV, datacasting
• IPTV QoS issues (including performance, traffic management and
monitoring, etc.)
• IPTV user experience and user experience design
• Video Content Distribution Networks for distributed IPTV services
• Mobile IPTV (system deployment, mobile extension considerations, etc.)
• Transmission aspects including video compression and network coding
• User devices and home networking
• Content protection and rights management
• Network design impacts of video convergence
• Software platforms and middleware for next generation IPTV
• Business, pricing and billing models for evolving IPTV services
• Mathematical and analytical models for IPTV networks
• IPTV content consumption measurement, congestion control, rate control
• IPTV test beds and field trials for multimedia broadcasting applications
• IPTV processing, video coding and processing

Additionally, the workshop plans to bring a distinguished invited
speaker to talk on "IPTV in Industry" and especially in emerging IPTV
markets, i.e., to discuss original contributions from various industry
IPTV domains (e.g.consumer electronics, broadcasters, producers,
broadband companies, software and hardware developers, telecom
operators). The objective will be discussing evidences of issues
regarding IPTV technologies' dealing with industry cases in the above
areas of interest.
