1st Workshop on
multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks
(MediaWiN 2006)
April 2, 2006
Athens, Greece
In conjunction with 12th European Wireless Conference (EW 2006)
(http://www.telecom.ece.ntua.gr/EW2006)
Scope
The purpose of the MediaWiN 2006 Workshop is to provide a forum for
presenting and
discussing recent advances in multimedia systems, services and
applications over wireless
networks. In particular, the Workshop will bring together leading
researchers, industry
professionals and academics from companies, governmental agencies, and
universities
around the world to exchange information and new findings as well as to
study the special
problems and challenges of the multimedia mobile and wireless environments.
Topics of Interest
The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been
previously published and are not currently under review by another
conference or journal.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to the
following:
Quality and Reliability of Wireless Multimedia
* Providing QoS over wireless networks (Scheduling, Call admission
Control and Rate control,packetization schemes, prioritization
schemes)
* Cross-Layer techniques for multimedia communications over wireless
networks
* Provisioning, monitoring, and management of IP services for
WPANs/WLANs
* Traffic charging and accounting of integrated systems and services
* Multimedia support over multi-hop wireless networks (mesh, ad-hoc,
sensor networks)
Performance Modeling and Analysis of High-speed Wireless PANs and LANs
* Performance evaluation of multimedia services via analysis,
simulation and experiments (voice, video, interactive gaming)
* Design, implementation and testbed/experimental results for
wireless multimedia systems
* Energy efficiency in wireless multimedia protocols
Emerging Standards and Technologies for Wireless Multimedia Communications
* Performance of VoIP, VoD services and related protocols (IPv4,
IPv6, H.323, SIP,RTP,RTCP)
* Standardization activities in emerging standards: IEEE 802.11,
802.15, 802.16
* New network architectures and management solutions for WLANs (IEEE
802.11v,CAPWAP)
* Emerging and visionary multimedia applications for wireless mobile
networks
* Authentication and security issues in wireless multimedia systems
