 Advances in computer and networking technologies have fueled the rapid
 growth of research and development in multimedia computing and
high-speed
 networking.  As emerging multimedia technologies set higher performance
 levels at competitive costs, they are starting to enable and
proliferate
 multimedia solutions in a spectrum of commercial and laboratory
projects.

 The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers,
 developers, and practitioners working in all facets of multimedia
computing
 and networking. The conference will serve as a forum for the
dissemination
 of state-of-the-art research, development, and implementations of
 multimedia systems, technologies, and applications. Presenters will be
 encouraged to make multimedia presentations and demonstrate their
solutions.

 We especially encourage papers on emerging technologies such
 as mobile and wireless multimedia networks, edge network
 technologies, content distribution networks and home networking. A
 new feature this year is an industrial experiences track for
 next-generation multimedia systems and applications. One or
 two sessions of the conference will be reserved for papers detailing
 industrial experiences in the design and deployment of multimedia
 systems and applications.

 Papers are solicited in all areas of multimedia, including, but not
limited
 to:

 *  Multimedia Computing Systems:
      - hardware support and hardware accelerators
      - multimedia operating system services
      - video-on-demand servers and services
 *  Multimedia Networking:
      - mobile network architectures
      - wireless networks
      - active networks
      - home networking technologies
      - quality-of-service control and scheduling algorithms
      - access technologies and community networking
      - network and transport protocols
 *  Multimedia and the Internet:
      - web servers and web-based services
      - push technologies and content distribution
      - wide area caching architectures
      - data streaming and delivery mechanisms
      - compression
 *  Measurement and modeling:
      - performance measurement of multimedia systems
      - statistical modeling of server traffic and server software
      - multimedia system simulations
 *  Applications areas:
      - multimedia search engines and databases
      - entertainment and games
      - adaptive applications
      - synthetic animation
      - distributed virtual reality
      - user interfaces and authoring systems
 *  Case studies:
      - design studies of industrial multimedia systems
      - experience reports on the use of multimedia in real-life
applications
