Third Workshop on
multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks
(MediaWiN 2008)
(http://mediaWiN.it.teithe.gr)
July 6th, 2008
Marrakech, Morocco
organized in association with the
IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2008)
(http://www.comsoc.org/iscc/2008)
Scope
Fortified by the success of the previous experience, the third edition
of the MediaWiN Workshop will be again organized in association with the
IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2008).
MediaWiN 2008 is an open forum, which aims at promoting interaction and
discussion between the Workshop contributors. The event offers the
opportunity to leading researchers, industry professionals, and
academics around the world to meet, present their work, and discuss the
latest advances in multimedia systems, services, and applications over
wireless networks.
Topics of Interest
Starting with a rigorous review process in which each submitted paper
will receive at least three independent peer reviews, including one from
a TPC member, we expect the Workshop to provide relevant and
knowledgeable feedback that will assist all authors to significantly
enhance the quality of their work.
The focal topics of the Workshop include:
Multimedia Services Design and Characterization
- Cooperative multimedia services
- Health care, safety and emergency oriented multimedia services
- Emerging and visionary multimedia applications for wireless networks
Mathematical Models for Multimedia Applications
- Mathematical models for multimedia traffic sources
- Mathematical quality metrics for multimedia services
- Models and tools for the simulation of multimedia traffic sources
Experimentation: Testbeds, Field Trials and Empirical Results
- Design and implementation of testbeds for multimedia over wireless
- Filed trials, experimental measurements and results
- Measurements-based models for multimedia over wireless
- Testing of protocols and standards for multimedia over wireless
Multimedia Services over Resource-constrained Wireless Networks (WSN, WPAN)
- Energy efficiency issues in protocols for multimedia over wireless
sensor networks
- Scheduling and link adaptation techniques
- Resilience to node failures and network topology variations
- Low complexity cross layer techniques for multimedia over WSN or WPAN
Multimedia Services over Wireless LAN, WAN and Ad-hoc Networks
- Car-to-car and road-to-car multimedia communications in vehicular
networks
- Protocols for multimedia support and provisioning over mesh and
heterogeneous networks
- Context aware techniques for enhancing multimedia service support
- Design and improvements of MAC service differentiation solutions
- Mobility and handoff management
- Security issues in wireless multimedia applications
- Multimedia traffic charging and accounting techniques
Emerging Standards and Technologies for Wireless Multimedia Communications
- Recent work in standardization fora, including IEEE 802.11, 802.15,
802.16, 802.21
- New network architectures for wireless communications (IEEE 802.11v,
CAPWAP)
- Compression techniques, standards and evaluation
