In this mail, we remind interesting authors that the deadline (Sept 5th, 2005) for the IEEE ISM 2005 Workshop on Multimedia Technologies over Wireless Networks (WMoW 2005) CFP is approaching.

IEEE ISM 2005 Workshop on Multimedia Technologies

over Wireless Networks (WMoW 2005)

Call for Papers

December 12-14, 2005

Irvine, California, USA

Scope of WMoW 2005:

=================

The rapid convergence of technologies, such as, wireless networks and Internet, provides a promising direction for supporting multimedia services over the future IP based networks. It is anticipated that subscribers will enjoy multimedia services anywhere and at any time in the next generation networks. However, before the implementation of such kind of IP based networks, lots of technical challenges need to be solved. Technical challenges mainly stem from the following facets: 1, Bandwidth of the wireless access networks available so far is still very limited; 2, Characteristics of wireless channels and topologies of some wireless networks are highly dynamic; 3, Various wireless assess networks coexists, which makes the supporting of seamless roaming very difficult; 4, Only best effort service is supported in the traditional Internet protocols suits, which is not enough for providing QoS guarantee for different multimedia applications. The workshop solicits high quality and previous unpublished work in the field of multimedia over wireless networks, such as, WLAN, WPAN, 3G (B3G). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Issues on coding techniques:

+ Joint source-channel coding

+ Advanced video coding techniques, such as, scalable video coding, and multiple description coding

+ Video transcoding techniques

Issues on multimedia delivery over IP based wireless networks:

+ End-to-end QoS guarantee

+ Cross-Layer design

+ Error control, error resilience and error concealment techniques

+ Adaptive rate control

+ Packet scheduling over wireless networks

+ Efficient resource allocation

+ Energy efficient techniques for multimedia traffic delivery over wireless networks

+ Multimedia delivery using high-speed wideband transmission techniques, such as, UWB and MIMO

Issues on multimedia networking architectures and protocols:

+ Multimedia networking architectures and protocols for WLAN, WPAN, and 3G (and beyond)

+ Integration and interoperability of WLAN, WPAN, and 3G (and beyond)

+ Seamless roaming

+ Performance modeling, analysis, and simulations

Important Dates:

=============

Manuscript Submission: Sept 5, 2005

Acceptance Notification: Sept 13, 2005

Final Manuscript Due: Oct 1, 2005

Submission Guidelines:

=================

The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers of no more than 6 pages of IEEE double column format. Manuscript submission should be done electronically via e-mail by sending a pdf version of the manuscript to Dr. Bo LI (bo_li@mail.xidian.edu.cn with cc to bli@pcn.xidian.edu.cn).
