objectives
The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers and
practitioners contributing to all facets of multimedia computing and
networking. We especially encourage full and original papers on emerging
technologies such as home networking and digital appliances, mixed and
augmented reality systems, multimedia and QoS support for WLANs and 3G
networks, multimedia in P2P networks, grids, and sensor networks,
power-aware computing and communications, mobile and fixed wireless
multimedia networks and content distribution networks. The conference will
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. All presentations are plenum presentations.
keynote
web video search and the emergence of socially immersive media
abstract
With the rapid emergence of viral Web 2.0 Video sites, the
prominence of video on the web has grown significantly over the last year.
By leveraging the burgeoning social networks for rapid, viral distribution
of video, the web has dramatically altered the way video is being published,
viewed and shared. In this talk, key trends in social networks and online
video search are covered in addition to highlighting critical
technologies/tools that can continue accelerating the growth of this area.
The talk will also cover how this new world of video is shaping up, what
emerging technologies are critical, and what hurdles need to be overcome?
