As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the
next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of
independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as
IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other
directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and
infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad
hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an
increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to
dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and
worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are
many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the
resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality
of service desired by multimedia streaming users.
This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that
address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming
deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc
multimedia streaming
* Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming
* Internet P2P multimedia streaming
* P2P multimedia content distribution networks
* Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming
* Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless
ad hoc networks
* Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks
* Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad
hoc networks
* Streaming applications in sensor networks
* Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks
Information for Authors
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers in PS or PDF
format to one of the co-chairs via electronic mail. Submitted papers must be
original, unpublished work, and not currently under review for any other
conference or journal. The first page of the paper should include the authors'
names, affiliations, fax/telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The first
page should also include a less-than-200-word abstract. The camera-ready
version for an accepted paper will be no more than 6 pages in IEEE
double-column standard format.
Contributions will be reviewed by at least three referees from both the program
committee and external reviewers for originality, significance, clarity,
soundness, relevance, and technical contents on basis of papers.
