Recent advances in
communications technologies have witnessed a growing and evolving multimedia
content delivery market based on information gathering, manipulation, and dissemination.
It is a fact that personal communications, computing, broadcasting,
entertainment, etc. have turned into streams of multimedia content, and the
various communication and network technologies have become the means to carry
that content to a wide variety of terminals. Unlike traditional communication
systems, a fundamental challenge for present and future communication systems
is the ability to transport multimedia content over a variety of networks
efficiently at different channel conditions and bandwidth capacities with
various requirements of quality-of-service. There are many issues that need to
be addressed, such as signal processing, collaborations, power management,
flexible delivery, dynamic access, telecommunications, networking, etc., due to
the multidisciplinary nature of the applications in advanced multimedia
communications and services. The goal of this symposium is to bring together
the state-of-the-art research contribution that describes original and
unpublished work addressing the new emerging techniques on multimedia
communications and services.

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished
work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.
Full papers should be restricted to 6 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double
column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, ACM format), including text, figures
and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman,
Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent.
Papers must be submitted electronically
via EDAS (http://edas.info/N9435). All papers must include title,
complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on
the cover page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. Further
information can be found at URL.
Submitted
papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings
of the symposium will be published together with those of other IWCMC symposia
and workshops, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Digital
Library.
Selected around 13 papers (with extension) will be further published
in a special issue with KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Systems (TIIS)
(SCI indexed) (confirmed)!
