Dear colleague, Please accept our apologies
if you receive multiple copies of the same announcement. CALL FOR PAPER ********************************************************************** 1st IEEE International
Workshop on FUTURE MULTIMEDIA NETWORKING http://fmn2008.dei.uc.pt 2008 September 17, Technical Co-sponsorship by
IEEE Communications Society Collocated with IEEE NGMAST
2008 (http://www.ngmast.com/) ********************************************************************** AIMS AND GOALS 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 - 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). PAPER SUBMISSION Full papers reporting
original and unpublished research results on FMN´08 topics are solicited. Submissions
must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere while being evaluated
for this conference. - Formatting: The
proceedings will be published by the prestigious IEEE Computer Society Press.
