CALL FOR PAPER

**********************************************************************
1st IEEE International Workshop on
FUTURE MULTIMEDIA NETWORKING
http://fmn2008.dei.uc.pt
2008 September 17, Cardiff, Wales, UK
Technical Co-sponsorship by IEEE Communications Society

Collocated with IEEE NGMAST 2008 (http://www.ngmast.com/)
**********************************************************************

AIMS AND GOALS

Real-time multimedia services are contributing to enhance our life
experience and are expected to be among the most important applications in
future generation networks. The management of real-time multimedia services
is an important key to attract and keep customers, while increasing profits
to content providers. The efficient delivery and deployment of real-time
multimedia services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wired and
wireless systems is a challenging research objective. The interoperability
of applications, transport and network protocols, as well as, the demand
for improved Quality of Service (QoS) and user experience, and seamless
mobility control creates a challenging study field and also possibilities
for research of novel communication protocols, architectures and methods
towards Future Multimedia Networking Systems.

The objective of the Future Multimedia Networking (FMN´08) workshop is to
discuss state-of-the-art research and developing activities contributing to
aspects of multimedia systems, and networking. We are inviting both
theoretical and experimental papers as well as work-in-progress research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Multimedia management in next generation networks
- Content delivery networks
- Audio-visual systems
- Novel protocol for multimedia services
- Grid networking for multimedia services
- Multimedia in personal, sensor and ad-hoc networks
- Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks
- Quality of service management in multimedia networks
- Management of service oriented architectures
- Seamless mobility of multimedia services
- Novel multimedia architectures/platforms
- Multicast and broadcast multimedia service management
- IP multimedia system operations and management
- Resource reservation for multimedia services
- Multimedia in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
- Experiments/lessons from recent deployments
- Performance evaluation of multimedia services
- Network measurement/monitoring for multimedia services
- Pricing, accounting and billing for multimedia services
- Reliability, availability, serviceability of multimedia services

Special Issue Journal Publication: Best papers of the workshop will be
considered for publication in a Special Issue of International Journal of
Internet Protocol Technology (IJIPT).
