[Imageworld] MMSP 2011 - Call for Papers

[Nicu Sebe]

2011 IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing
Hangzhou, China, October 17-19, 2011
http://www.mmsp2011.org

MMSP 2011 is the 13th international workshop on multimedia signal 
processing.
The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical 
Committee
of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The focus theme for this workshop 
is client-cloud
multimedia computing. The cloud computers, clients and the network 
connecting them
jointly constitute a new distributed computing environment with large 
scale computation,
data and storage, which offers great opportunities for multimedia 
signals. Of particular
interest is the case where mobile devices serve as the input and output 
console. Besides
the existing challenges in the common client-cloud environment, 
multimedia computing
has additional challenges in joint client-cloud computing, including 
high bandwidth
communication, QoS of multimedia service, multimedia security and 
privacy, and so on.
The workshop will bring together researchers and developers in both 
multimedia signal
processing and client-cloud computing to share their latest achievements 
and explore
future directions and synergies in these exciting areas.

Papers are solicited in the above workshop theme, including (but not 
limited to) the
following topics, covering the general scope of the multimedia signal 
processing:
- Client-cloud multimedia systems, applications, and experiences
Image and video search, map-based applications, mobile-based multimedia
applications, conferencing, virtual classrooms and distance learning, 
multimodal
collaboration, telemedicine, online multiplayer gaming, social networking,
context-aware multimedia experiences
- Client-cloud multimedia processing services
Video/audio/graphics processing performed on device, in the cloud, or 
hybrid
combination. Adapt distributed resources based on time-varying usage, 
network
and compute load.
- Multimedia for communication and collaboration
Ad-hoc broadband sensor array, microphone and camera array, loudspeaker
and display array, sensor calibration and synchronization, source 
separation,
localization, de-noising, enhancement and spatialization
- Virtual reality signal processing
Virtual reality and 3D imaging, 2D and 3D graphics/geometry animation, 
distributed
virtual reality communication, 3D audio and video processing
- Coding for client-cloud multimedia computing
Distributed/centralized source coding, scalable source coding, 
error/loss resilient
coding for telecommunications, joint source and channel coding
- Networking for client-cloud multimedia computing
Multimedia over IP and wireless, network multimedia quality monitoring and
management, priority-based QoS control and scheduling, ad-hoc and
infrastructure-based overlay network communication, P2P communication, 
channel
coding, packetization, synchronization, buffering, cross-layer 
optimization for
communications
- Security for client-cloud multimedia computing
Security for multimedia/multimodal streams, digital rights management, 
authentication,
access control, privacy and security, data hiding
