The communication paradigm is shifting towards rich media in all walks of life. The impact of multimedia was first felt in entertainment, education and publishing industries but is quickly spreading to other verticals like health care, retail,etc segments as more tools and technologies are being simplified and made widely available accelerating the integration of rich media in every day communications.
Emerging networking technologies including LTE, WiMAX, PON, IPTV, PacketCable are creating huge opportunities by providing bigger data pipes, better reliability, robust end2end multimedia architectures to provide users with rich experiences in prosuming multimedia content and applications. These networking technologies are driving the cost to transfer a byte of information lower by the day. This has also helped fuel the consumption of rich media traffic in a major way by the end user. However this has accentuated the need for rapid scalability and consistency in performance of the networks requiring innovative solutions to provide a great user experience.
Novel Applications and Services are emerging rapidly in the areas of Next Gen TV, Retail, Virtual Internet, interactive Games, Enterprise collaboration, Health Services, etc. which thrive on rich multi media content in an effective way. Web 2.0 technologies are making these applications and services easily accessible, usable and mashable catering to long tail content, improved personalization, better precision in targeting end users, enabling social overlays to a growing number of viewers across the globe. As the consumer is empowered with the emergence of 2.0 technologies which is defining new ways of content creation and consumption across the device and network value chains, technologies like SOA, WS and cloud computing paradigms are enabling new frameworks for creating, deploying, managing and measurements of applications. As content, cloud and communities become the driving force for the future it is imperative to start looking at emerging technologies that’ll define future experiences.
The goal of this workshop is to focus on the emerging technologies across the spectrum which is defining novel and richer applications and services around rich media communications. Further it will provide a forum for researchers, architects and engineers, to share knowledge and innovations emerging in networking and service delivery architectures for driving next generation Rich media services. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include but are not limited to the following:
- Emerging Device Architectures for supporting Rich Media
- Networking Architectures for enabling Rich Media communications
- P2P & Rich Media communications
- Rich Media Delivery Architectures
- Emerging Tools & Technologies for Rich media creation and consumption
- Mobility issues in Rich Media sessions
- Networking Middleware and Service Delivery Platforms for Rich Media Services
- Novel Rich Media Applications
- Social Networks and Rich Media Applications
- Future Rich Media Experiences
- Emerging Business Models in Rich Media Communications
Papers should contain original material and not previously published, or currently submitted elsewhere. Submissions of full papers must be 6 pages including figures, tables, references, and any appendices..
