Call for Papers

–co-located with ICME2011, July 11-15, 2011, Barcelona, Spain

[PDF][TXT]

Workshop organizers: Christian Timmerer (Klagenfurt University, Austria), Daniel Negru (LaBRI, France), Eugen Borcoci (UPB, Romania), George Xilouris (Demokritos, Greece)

Latest advances in multimedia content encoding and representation, including HDTV, 3DTV, multi-view video and associated added-value interactive services, are offering to the end user a truly rich multimedia experience. At the same time advances in communications systems and network technologies give the ability to apply in-network processing techniques in order to take advantage of the available user and media contextual information for efficient, flexible and auto-configurable media transmission. On the other hand network-aware applications and cross-layer mechanisms are being developed in order to take advantage of network information in order to adapt the media to the current network conditions, terminal capabilities, and user preferences.

This workshop solicits novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of multimedia-aware networking. In particular, workshop papers should describe algorithms, issues and experiences related to content-aware networking and network-aware applications, future (media) Internet architectures, self-* and adaptivity, cross-layer design and optimization, applications, and interoperability.

We are particularly interested in (but not limited to) areas such as

Content Aware Networking and Network Aware Application

  • Content creation: coding (e.g., 2D/3D, SVC, HEVC), preparation, packaging
  • Content delivery: transport, streaming, live, on-demand, real-time, download
  • Content adaptation: server, in-network, client
  • Content-aware and media-aware forwarding and routing
  • Content consumption: widget
  • Context Aware Applications and Network

Future Internet architectures

  • Content/media centric aspects
  • Network/infrastructure management
  • Network virtualization
  • Cross-layer design, cross-layer optimization

Self-* and adaptivity

  • Self-organization
  • Self-configuration
  • Self-healing

Interoperability: standardization

  • High-Efficiency Video Coding
  • 3D Video Coding
  • Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
  • Modern Media Transport
  • Important Dates
The papers of WoMAN’11 will be published within the proceedings of ICME’11 and, thus, must be formatted according to the author guidelines of ICME’11 (see http://www.icme2011.org/ for details). Accepted papers will be also available through IEEE Xplore™.

Best paper awards are sponsored by Dolby and RADVISION respectively.
