========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS

SPIE MMCN 2005 Twelth Annual Multimedia Computing and Networking (MMCN '05) In cooperation with: ACM SIG Multimedia

San Jose, California (part of Electronic Imaging Symposium) January 16-20, 2005

Paper submissions due: July 5, 2004

http://mmcn05.cse.nd.edu/ ==========================================================================

The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners contributing to all facets of multimedia computing and networking. We especially encourage full and original papers on emerging technologies such as home networking and digital appliances, multimedia and QoS support for 3G and UWB networks, multimedia in P2P environments, power-aware computing and communications, mobile and fixed wireless multimedia networks and content distribution networks. An exclusive industrial track will feature industrial design experiences and showcase tools for next-generation multimedia systems and applications. Presenters will be encouraged to make multimedia presentations and demonstrate their solutions in person.

TOPICS Papers are solicited in all areas of multimedia, including, but not limited to:

* Multimedia Computing o multimedia OS services o power-aware systems o video-on-demand services o peer-to-peer media systems * Multimedia Networking o home, mobile and broadband networks o QoS control and scheduling o push technologies, content distribution and other emerging access technologies o Internet data streaming, delivery and wide-area caching o multimedia security and rights management * Measurement and Modeling o performance measurement of multimedia systems o statistical modeling of server traffic and server software o multimedia system simulations and benchmark comparison * Case Studies and Applications o multimedia search engines o entertainment and networked games o distributed virtual reality o multimedia authoring

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be available through the SPIE digital library. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit both research and industrial papers on original, unpublished work describing current research and novel ideas in the area of multimedia computing and networking.
