Aims and Topics
Real-time multimedia services are contributing to enhance our life experience and are expected to be among the most important applications in future generation networks. The management of real-time multimedia services is an important key to attract and keep customers, while increasing profits to content providers. The efficient delivery and deployment of real-time multimedia services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wired and wireless systems is a challenging research objective. The interoperability of applications, transport and network protocols, as well as, the demand for improved Quality of Service (QoS) and user experience, and seamless mobility control creates a challenging study field and also possibilities for research of novel communication protocols, architectures and methods towards Future Multimedia Networking Systems.
The objective of the Future Multimedia Networking (FMN´08) workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research and developing activities contributing to aspects of multimedia systems, and networking. We are inviting both theoretical and experimental papers as well as work-in-progress research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Multimedia management in next generation networks
· Content delivery networks
· Audio-visual systems
· Novel protocol for multimedia services
· Grid networking for multimedia services
· Multimedia in personal, sensor and ad-hoc networks
· Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks
· Quality of service management in multimedia networks
· Quality of experience management in multimedia networks
· Management of service oriented architectures
· Seamless mobility of multimedia services
· Novel multimedia architectures/platforms
· Multicast and broadcast multimedia service management
· IP multimedia system operations and management
· Resource reservation for multimedia services
· Multimedia in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
· Experiments/lessons from recent deployments
· Performance evaluation of multimedia services
· Network measurement/monitoring for multimedia services
· Pricing, accounting and billing for multimedia services
· Watermarking of Multimedia Data
· Reliability, availability, serviceability of multimedia services
Special Issue Journal Publication: Best papers of the workshop will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of
International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology (IJIPT).
The proceedings of the FMN´08 workshop will be published by IEEE CPS and on IEEExplore digital library. IEEE CPS
papers are professionally indexed through INSPEC.
