IPTV and Emerging Applications over World Wide Web
Call-For-Papers
Jointly held with the 16th International World Wide
Web Conference in
With the proliferation of multimedia
content in a broad spectrum of application areas, such as Voice over IP, home
entertainment, and distributed on-line gaming, a clear understanding of
multimedia applications over World Wide Web has become increasingly important. YouTube, for example, is reported to have about 100 million
short videos streamed a day and incurs bandwidth cost on the order of a million
dollars a month. Internet TV (IPTV) is a novel Internet application and
represents a good opportunity of integrating video, voice, and data onto a
single IP network. It has the promise to offer viewers an innovative set of
choices and controls over the TV content. Several major
Multimedia (video, audio and
data) services over WWW face many technology challenges and scalability/quality
problems. In the past few years, many new technologies have been proposed (e.g.
P2P, caching, QoS, multi-layer encoding, etc.) and implemented to address the
challenges. Building upon our success of the IPTV workshop last year
(jointly held with WWW'06), this workshop intends to bring together researchers
and developers from industry and academy to discuss the technological advances
and challenges in providing multimedia services over WWW.
Topics of particular
interest include, but are not limited to:
o Multimedia middleware platforms
o Wireless multimedia services
o Performance analysis of multimedia systems
o Peer to peer systems
o Content distribution technologies for multimedia
systems
o Voice over IP, Instant Messaging, and distributed
on-line gaming
o New service infrastructure for IPTV and multimedia
o New multimedia applications using WWW
o Digital Home Entertainment
o Experience reports for IPTV and multimedia services
