*ACM Pending Approval

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Due date: June 10th, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Selected papers will be published on a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Second ACM International Workhop on Wireless Multimedia Networking and Performance Modeling (WMuNeP '06) will be a one-day workshop, held in conjunction with the 9th Annual ACM Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiMÂŽ06). The demand for wireless multimedia communications thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to evolve multimedia applications and services, and their associated protocols for emerging networks is at a critical point given the proliferation and integration of wireless systems to intelligent and broadband networks, mobility of people, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in mobile devices.

This workshop is devoted to cover different aspects of wireless multimedia networking and performance modeling for WLANs, WPANs, WMANs, WWANs, MANETs and sensor networks such as wireless video and wireless streaming, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, synchronization, analysis and performance modeling. The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Wireless multimedia network management - Wireless multimedia traffic modeling - Middleware and reflective systems support for wireless multimedia - Proxy-based systems for video transcoding and content distribution - Performance modeling, monitoring and evaluation of wireless multimedia networks and systems - Multipoint, multicast wireless multimedia services - Deployment of wireless multimedia applications, services and networks - Protocols for wireless multimedia networks - QoS in wireless multimedia networks - Integration of wireless multimedia networks to broadband networks - End-to-end IP multimedia wireless communications - Coding and transmission for wireless multimedia networks - Distributed wireless multimedia services - Content-based wireless multimedia information retrieval tools - Video, streaming, real-time wireless multimedia communications and applications - Security in wireless multimedia networks - Wireless multimedia right protection and watermarking - Pricing mechanisms for wireless multimedia networks - E-Commerce and related applications for wireless multimedia networks - Multimedia evaluation and processing for wireless networks - Cross layer design for wireless multimedia networks - Analytical modeling of wireless multimedia networks - Software tools for system performance and evaluation of wireless multimedia networks - Performance comparison of wireless multimedia networks - Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the design of systems
