First International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Multimedia:
Algorithms, Architectures and Applications (BroadWIM)
             
  Friday, October 29, 2004 San Jose, California, USA  http://www.broadwim.org
             
   (co-located with BroadNets 2004, http://www.broadnets.org)
             
  (Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society)

CALL FOR PAPERS

The emergence and adoption of broadband wireless access standards, such
as 802.16, 802.16a and 802.11a, offers exciting new possibilities for delivering
rich multimedia content over the "last mile". The workshop is
intended to present and discuss new architectures for delivering such rich
media over single-hop or mesh broadband wireless architectures. It also
focuses on the algorithms and protocols needed to integrate the application
layer requirements, such as QoS, security etc. with the base functionality
offered by the standardized 802.16/11 and other WLAN and WWAN interfaces.
Of particular interest are practical case studies, demonstrations or pilots
of innovative techniques for delivering a variety of multimedia content
over such broadband local or metropolitan wireless networks. Preliminary
results on interesting ideas and techniques are more welcome than detailed
analysis of existing schemes.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:

* System Prototypes and Experiences with Broadband Multimedia Delivery
* IP-based Multimedia Services over WLANs and WMANs
* Signaling for Converged Multimedia Applications
* QoS for Real-time Voice and Video in Broadband Wireless Networks
* Encoding Alternatives for Multi-media Streams
* Video/Audio Distribution Architectures in Broadband WLANs and WMANs
* Multicasting and Broadcasting Problems and Solutions
* Caching and Content Management in WLANs and WMANs
* Algorithms for Controlling Delay and Jitter in Broadband Channels
* Integration of Broadband Wireless and WPANs/WBANs
* Wireless Broadband Multimedia and Sensor Applications
* Multimedia delivery for broadband vehicular networks
* Multimedia services for Ambient Intelligent and Pervasive Environments

PAPERS SUBMISSION

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed approximately
5000 words, including figures and references. (Each figure counts as 250
words). For the initial submissions, the papers should be in double-spaced,
single-column format with a separate abstract of at most 250 words. Papers
should be submitted in PDF format according to the instruction at http://cnd1.iit.cnr.it/broadwim04.
All papers will be peer reviewed. Papers of particular merit will be considered
for a special issue of a reputed journal and/or magazine.
