CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues
in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'07)

CCNC 2007 - Satellite Workshop
January 11 2007, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society

The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost
reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the  
growth of
the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology
traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual
advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for
implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy
more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV,
interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This
phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts
specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer
graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design,
human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering.
Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary  
fusion, yet
only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable
for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment
for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of
consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the  
wired
and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the
consumer expectations. The third IEEE International Workshop on  
Networking
Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for  
researchers,
engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and
research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts,
technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering
existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors
are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following,  
but
not limited to, topic areas:

Technologies for Entertainment:
Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games
