Multimedia Communications over Emerging Networks 2012

14 – 17 January 2012, Las Vegas, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS

1st annual workshop on Multimedia Communications over Emerging Networks 2012 (MCEN’12)

In conjunction with the 9th Annual IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference 2011 in Las Vegas, USA, from 14 – 17 January 2012.

The objective of this work shop is to provide a forum for researchers and application developers to exchange ideas, present results and share experience in various aspects of enhancing multimedia communication experiences in emerging networks. Traditional topics of multimedia communication services like latency, privacy, fairness, transparency, security, manageability, provisioning, monitoring, and accounting may all have different measurements and meanings
over emerging networks, such as broadband wireless networks, clouds, virtualized networks, tactical networks, delay tolerant networks, and Internet of things. What's the new measurement metrics, what's the new user expectations, what's the requirements we need to keep when performing traditional multimedia services over emerging networks, what kind of principles we need to hold on both client and server software to have better user experience of multimedia services. We need to answer all those questions to provide multimedia services over emerging networks to users. In addition, we also need to identify and develop new features and applications specifically for multimedia communications over emerging networks.

Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering, but not limited to, the topics of interest listed below:

• Quality of Service (QoS) issues of multimedia services and applications over emerging networks
• Quality of Experience (QoE) issues, such as latency, fairness, and transparency of multimedia services and applications in emerging networks
• Security and privacy issues of multimedia services and applications in emerging networks
• User Interface (UI)/Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)/User Experience (UX) of multimedia service and applications in emerging networks
• Context-based communications over emerging networks
• Customer relationship/feedback analysis of multimedia communication services over emerging networks
• Manageability, provisioning, monitoring, and accounting of multimedia communication services over emerging networks
• Novel multimedia communication services and applications over emerging networks
• Signal processing for multimedia communications over emerging networks
• IPTV over emerging networks
• Sensor network technologies for multimedia communications
• P2P communications over emerging networks
