To authors of papers in a recent NOSSDAV workshop -------------------------------------------------------- You are receiving this announcement because we believe you were an author of a paper in a recent NOSSDAV Workshop and wish to make you aware of this year's workshop and encourage you to submit a paper. CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th ACM International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 2004) June 16-18, 2004 --- Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland _http://www.nossdav.org/2004/

_NOSSDAV 2004 will take place in Kinsale on the exceptionally scenic southern coast of Ireland. Kinsale is approximately a 20 minute drive outside Cork city, which is within easy reach of major European capitals and the east coast of the US. The workshop is sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia, Microsoft Research and Science Foundation Ireland, and is in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. NOSSDAV 2004 will be run very much as a workshop with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and lively discussion. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype or real systems, including innovative experimental commercial designs and prototypes, as well as papers proposing new research directions for the community or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are particularly welcome. Given the growth and diversification of the field, a broad view will be taken in deciding what papers are within the scope of the workshop. For instance, papers describing novel ideas in congestion control or application-level multicast that are arguably of interest in the context of multimedia, would be in scope. If you are unsure and wish to check if a paper is within the workshop scope please email the Co-Chairs. ***Student participation is strongly encouraged*** - supported by several student travel grants and registration fee rebates. Submissions should be no longer than 6 pages. The expectation is that papers accepted at the workshop will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networked games * Peer-to-peer multimedia * Broadband streaming media content distribution * 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments * Wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems * Embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs) * Multimedia security * Internet telephony * Sensory interactive applications * Digital rights management Deadlines: Paper registration deadline - February 23, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Paper submission deadline - March 1, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Program Co-Chairs: Venkat Padmanabhan, Microsoft Research (USA) Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork (Ireland) Email: nossdav2004-pcchairs@cs.ucc.ie Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara (USA) Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom (France) Phil Chou, Microsoft Research (USA) Christophe Diot, Intel Research (UK) Kevin Jeffay, UNC Chapel Hill (USA) Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo (Canada) Sue Moon, KAIST (Korea) Reza Rejaie, University of Oregon (USA) Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University (USA) Srinivasan Seshan, CMU (USA) Anees Shaikh, IBM Research (USA) Lars Wolf, TU Braunsch -------------
