1st Workshop on multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks (MediaWiN 2006) (http://mediaWiN.it.teithe.gr)

April 2, 2006 Athens, Greece

In conjunction with 12th European Wireless Conference (EW 2006) (http://www.telecom.ece.ntua.gr/EW2006)

Scope The purpose of the MediaWiN 2006 Workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent advances in multimedia systems, services and applications over wireless networks. In particular, the Workshop will bring together leading researchers, industry professionals and academics from companies, governmental agencies, and universities around the world to exchange information and new findings as well as to study the special problems and challenges of the multimedia mobile and wireless environments.

Topics of Interest 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. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to the following:

Quality and Reliability of Wireless Multimedia

* Providing QoS over wireless networks (Scheduling, Call admission Control and Rate control,packetization schemes, prioritization schemes) * Cross-Layer techniques for multimedia communications over wireless networks * Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services for WPANs/WLANs * Traffic charging and accounting of integrated systems and services * Multimedia support over multi-hop wireless networks (mesh, ad-hoc, sensor networks)

Performance Modeling and Analysis of High-speed Wireless PANs and LANs

* Performance evaluation of multimedia services via analysis, simulation and experiments (voice, video, interactive gaming) * Design, implementation and testbed/experimental results for wireless multimedia systems * Energy efficiency in wireless multimedia protocols

Emerging Standards and Technologies for Wireless Multimedia Communications

* Performance of VoIP, VoD services and related protocols (IPv4, IPv6, H.323, SIP,RTP,RTCP) * Standardization activities in emerging standards: IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16 * New network architectures and management solutions for WLANs (IEEE 802.11v,CAPWAP) * Emerging and visionary multimedia applications for wireless mobile networks * Authentication and security issues in wireless multimedia systems

Important dates Submission of research papers: February 5, 2006 Notification of paper acceptance: February 25, 2006 Submission of camera-ready papers: March 6, 2006 Workshop date: April 2, 2006

Submission Guidelines We encourage submission of high-quality technical papers reporting original work and previously unpublished research in the above theoretical and experimental research areas. Submitted papers must be submitted to any of the Chairs as a .PDF file and must not exceed 7 A4 pages, double columned, single-spaced format, using 12-point font size. All submissions must also contain full contact information of the authors along with an abstract no more than 150 words describing the presented research content.
