Motivation and Scope

The Internet is fast emerging as the ubiquitous transport network to 
provide wide range of multimedia services like IP Datacast, Streaming 
and Multimedia Broadcast.  Also, there has been a growing popularity of 
portable devices, such as notebook computers, PDAs and mobile phones in 
recent years.  Now it is possible to provide very high-speed access to 
portable devices with emerging technologies like WLAN and 3G networks. 
This has lead to the search for newer applications and algorithms that 
can add value to an end-user's experience by combining multimedia 
services with mobile specific services.

The research issues to provide multimedia services in wireless 
environments are numerous. We are seeking papers that are original, 
unpublished, and not currently under review by an other conference, 
workshop, or journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 
the following:

-- 
QoS issues with multimedia services.
-- 
Signaling architecture to support multimedia services in next generation 
wireless networks.
-- 
Multimedia Security.
-- 
  Architectural issues in providing multimedia services in heterogeneous 
wireless environments.
-- 
Location and mobility issues.
-- 
System modeling and performance evaluation.
-- 
Protocol design, analysis, and optimization.
-- 
Routing (including multicasting and broadcasting)
-- 
Joint MAC and network layer optimization issues to provide multimedia 
services in emerging wireless networks.
-- 
Congestion, admission, and flow control.
-- 
Implementation and test-bed experiments.

Submission Guidelines
