*********************************************** IEEE MoViD 2008 First IEEE Workshop on Mobile Video Delivery In conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008

http://eecs.ucf.edu/movid/

23 June 2008 Newport Beach, CA, USA ***********************************************

The unprecedented growth in video content generation and delivery has created the new era of video Internet where video-based applications have gained tremendous popularity. This trend has forced the network and service providers to understand the limitations of current Internet and bring new technologies for delivering the video content to the end-user. Furthermore, criticality of the wireless networks pose new challenges in video delivery specific to the diverse set of underlying network technologies including Wi-Fi, WiMax etc.

The focus of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the wireless network technologies and video delivery mechanisms for supporting the broad spectrum of emerging video-centric applications. The workshop will have the goal of understanding the research and deployment challenges in building the Next Generation Mobile Video Internet. Specifically, the workshop intends to address the following topics: a) Research challenges in developing new methods for delivering rich video experience to users over existing wireless technologies; b) New visions and concepts that will drive evolution of wireless access technologies to support high definition video content with diverse QoS requirements; c) Deployment challenges in new video delivery models (broadcast/multicast) to mobile users.

The workshop aims to foster interaction among researchers and exchange new ideas by bringing together members of the video and networking communities. The workshop will provide an interesting venue to discuss widely varying beliefs and understanding being formed among the academic and industrial communities in terms of how next generation mobile video content should delivered to end-users.

The technical program committee invites the submission of original, unpublished technical papers in the following areas (but not limited to):

Application-specific technologies in supporting **Mobile VoD, SDV, IPTV **Mobile video conferencing **Mobile video gaming **Video surveillance and sensing

Performance **Quality of experience metrics **Video quality measurement **Performance analysis **Experimental results from testbed/deployments
