CALL FOR PAPERS

Objectives

A key aspect of the workshop is that it provides extensive discussion periods during which attendees can informally discuss their current work and future research directions. Traditionally, NOSSDAV has emphasized on high quality experimental research that prototypes systems to explore innovative solutions to the problems in the diverse areas of multimedia computing. NOSSDAV97 will continue this tradition.

Relevant topics for the workshop include:

• APIs and Continuous Media (CM) programming abstractions for multimedia
• Cell-based system architectures
• Communication protocols for multimedia
• Distributed multimedia systems
• End-to-end admission control
• High-speed/ATM networks
• Micro-kernel and OS support for real-time communications
• Mobile multimedia systems
• Multicast protocols and media scaling
• Multimedia network interfaces
• Multimedia-oriented desk, local and wide area networks
• Multimedia and the Internet
• Multimedia storage, server, and I/O architectures
• Quality of service and synchronization frameworks
• Resource management and reservation in the OS and network
• Software agents for multimedia systems
• TV set-top device communication
• VOD system architecture
• VR systems
• Workstation and PDA architectures for multimedia
