                           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

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
will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org).
