We especially encourage full and original papers on emerging technologies such as residential broadband networks and digital appliances, multimedia and QoS support for 3G and ad hoc networks, multimedia in P2P environments, sensor networks and grids, power-aware computing and communications, mobile and fixed wireless multimedia networks and content distribution networks. We will specially feature industrial design experiences and showcase tools for next-generation multimedia systems and applications. Presenters will be encouraged to make multimedia presentations and demonstrate their solutions in person. Papers are solicited in all areas of multimedia, including, but not limited to: Multimedia Networking . home, mobile and broadband networks . QoS control and scheduling . push technologies, content distribution and other emerging access technologies . Internet data streaming, delivery and wide-area caching . sensor networks for multimedia . grid use for multimedia Measurement and Modeling . performance measurement of multimedia systems . statistical modeling of server traffic and server software . multimedia system simulations and benchmark comparisons Multimedia Computing . multimedia OS services . power-aware systems . video-on-demand services . peer-to-peer media systems . development tools Case Studies and Applications . entertainment and networked games . distributed virtual reality . multimedia authoring Authors are invited to submit both research and industrial papers on original, unpublished work describing current research and novel ideas in the area of multimedia computing and networking. Papers whose contributions are supported by experimental evaluations are strongly encouraged. Paper submissions should not exceed 15 single-spaced, single column pages including figures, tables, and references, using a typeface no smaller than 10 points. The full paper and a 500-word text abstract must be electronical- ly submitted by the submission deadline.
