Past history and scope of the Workshop --------------------------------------

Interactive Distributed Multimedia Systems (IDMS) and Protocols for Multimedia Systems (PROMS) have been two successful series of international events bringing together researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry in all areas of multimedia systems. These two workshops have successfully merged in 2003 and now constitute the MIPS workshop. MIPS 2004 is intended to contribute to scientific, strategic and practical advances in the area of distributed multimedia applications, protocols, and intelligent management tools, with emphasis on their provision over novel network architectures. MIPS 2004 will consist of a two days and a half technical program, plus a full day of tutorials. Papers should describe innovative and significant work.

Topics of Interest ------------------

* Mobile & wireless multimedia systems * Multimedia middleware * Multimedia communication protocols * Quality of Service issues and multimedia * Resource management for multimedia services * Active and programmable networking for multimedia applications * Multimedia-specific mobile agents * Multimedia distribution and transport * Multimedia traffic engineering * Multimedia service engineering * Ubiquitous computing for multimedia * Networked audio-video devices * Development tools for distributed multimedia applications * Multimedia applications: video-on-demand, digital video libraries, video games, virtual community, teleworking, teleteaching, e-commerce, virtual reality simulations * Performance of multimedia protocols and applications: modeling, simulation and optimisation in different networks * Multimedia content management * Multimedia service access * Security, authentication, privacy, watermarking for multimedia * Accounting and tariff policing for multimedia teleservices * Multimedia encoding and compression * Standards (e.g. MPEG) and related issues
