Call For Paper The 8th International Workshop on Multimedia Network Systems and Applications (MNSA-2006) http://www.takilab.k.dendai.ac.jp/conf/MNSA/2006 in conjunction with The IEEE 26th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS-2006), Lisboa, Portugal, on July 4-7, 2006.
THEME Networks of today are going through rapid evolution. In the last few years, we have observed an explosive growth of multimedia computing, multimedia networking and applications. Multimedia technologies have broaden software applications. With the growing popularity of wired and wireless Internet, multimedia network systems and applications are changing our daily life and social activity. Also, the development of useful and attractive applications, such as Multimedia Web Service, Collaborative Systems, Virtual Reality, and Virtual Community tools, is becoming very important. Started in 1999, the series of workshop has been held in conjunction with ICDCS every year. The goal of this workshop is to publish high quality papers and for researcher and participants to exchange experience of developing application oriented multimedia systems. Research papers to introduce technologies of specific application problems, middleware for constructing multimedia applications, or commercial systems and tools are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to following:
* Multimedia Tool and Systems * Distributed Multimedia Systems and Shared Applications * Quality of Service Issues for Applications * Advanced Internet Technologies and Applications * Web Service Tools and Systems * Content-based Multimedia Information Retrieval Tools * Multimedia Right Protection and Watermarking * Wireless Networks and Mobile Multimedia Applications * Agent Oriented Multimedia Systems and Applications * Mobile Agents and Applications * Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality * Visual Languages and Visual Programming * Distance Learning and Virtual Community * E-Commerce and Related Applications * Web-meeting Systems * Multimedia Networking * Applications of Video Coding and Streaming * Applications of Image Processing * Embedded Systems for Multimedia Applications
