General Information
The Symposium on Multimedia over Wireless will be held in
conjunction with the World's Premier International Conference on
Wireless Networks, Communications, and Mobile Computing (IEEE WirelessCom)
2005 in the Sheraton Maui Resort,
The symposium will select the best
papers
and the authors of the papers will be recognized at the conference. Outstanding
papers on video communications will be invited to extend to full version for a
special issue of the Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing. The special issue
will be published in early 2007.
Scope
The rapid growth in interactive multimedia applications,
such as video telephonies, video games and TV broadcasting have resulted in
spectacular strides in the progress of wireless communication systems. The
current third generation (3G) wireless systems and the next generation (4G)
wireless systems in planning support higher bit rates. However, the high error
rates and stringent delay constraints in wireless systems are still significant
obstacles for these applications and services. On the other hand, the
development of more advanced wireless systems provides opportunities for
proposing novel wireless multimedia protocols and new applications and services
that can take the maximum advantage of the systems.
This symposium will provide an excellent forum for
all experts working in these areas to join together and to discuss various
important issues on multimedia over wireless. It aims at increasing the synergy
between academic and industry professionals working in this area. The symposium
is to be held in the timing that the evolution to 4G. Therefore, it is the time
for us to get together to enjoy wonderful atmosphere in Hawaii while having the
technical discussions in Wireless Multimedia. The papers submitted to this
symposium should focus on the state-of-the-art research in various important
areas related to emerging technologies and standards on the coding and
transmission of multimedia information over wireless networks.
