>
> SCOPE
>
> Over the last decade, voice communication using cellular phones has matured
> and become a significant feature of daily life. In the recent past, portable
> computing devices such as notebook computers and personal digital assistants
> (PDA) have emerged leading to the opportunity of such services as,
> electronic mail, fax and calendar/diary programs being provided to mobile or
> roving users. Observing this trend, it can be safely predicted that the next
> generation traffic over high-speed wireless networks will be dominated by
> personal multimedia applications such as video/news on demand,
> video-conferencing, telemetry services, traveler information systems, WWW
> browsing etc.
>
> The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
> technologists to present their contributions as technical papers, online
> demos of service applications or technology related to wireless multimedia.
> The issues and challenges for the development of wireless multimedia
> networks not only encompass a broad spectrum of research topics such as
> quality-of-service provisioning, broadband wireless, network support,
> handover etc., but also involves a way to envision the evolution of the next
> generation telecommunication networks.
>
> TOPICS
>
> Papers and/or product demos are solicited in all research and applied areas
> related to wireless multimedia and its interface (or co-existence) with
> conventional wireline networks, which include but are not limited to:
