=============================
Fourth Workshop on
multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks
(MediaWiN 2009)
(http://mediaWiN.it.teithe.gr)
July 5th, 2009
Sousse, Tunisia
organized in association with the
Fourteenth IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2009)
(http://www.comsoc.org/iscc/2009)
Contributions to MediaWiN 2009 should address the technical challenges
arising from novel networking scenarios. Visionary, early-stage works
that are rigorously presented and can steer discussion to new topics
are particularly welcome. We are actively encouraging researchers to
share their views, research proposals and solutions for multimedia
applications over wireless networks.
Since the first workshop edition in 2006, the proliferation of wireless
access technologies and multimedia applications over IP networks is
leading to a growing interest in the convergence between wireless
networks and multimedia applications. However, the strict requirements
of multimedia applications, the unreliability of wireless media and the
cost of wireless resources make this convergence very challenging.
MediaWiN2009 offers the opportunity to leading researchers, industry
professionals, and academics around the world to meet, present their
work, and discuss the latest advances about multimedia services over
wireless technology.
All accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2009 Proceedings, will
be available on IEEE Xplore, and will be professionally indexed by the
IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Service. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to the following:
* Multimedia Services over Wireless Networks
* Multimedia Applications and Protocols over Wireless Networks
* Experimentation: Testbeds, Field Trials and Empirical Evaluations,
Measurement Studies
* Emerging Standards, Technologies and Novel Paradigms for Wireless
Multimedia Communications
Important Dates
Submission of research papers due: 31 January 2009
Notification of paper acceptance: 28 February 2009
Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2009
Workshop date: 5 July 2009
Paper submission
Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6
pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables
and references, and must be submitted by January 31 2009 using EDAS
(http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7092).
Papers meeting these require-
ments will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers,
including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished
work and should not be currently under review by any other conference
or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the
Workshop web site.
The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2009 Proceedings and
