CALL FOR PAPERS
4th International Workshop on IP-based TV Technologies
and Multidisciplinary Applications (IWITMA 2012), to be held in conjunction
with IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2012),
Irvine, California, 10-12 December 2012

***********************************************************************************************
SCOPE
The 4th International Workshop on IP-based TV Technologies
and Multidisciplinary Applications (IWITMA 2012) is a
high-quality satellite event of IEEE ISM 2012 and following same format of
the last editions organized in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2011, IEEE
ICME 2010 and ConTel 2009, IEEE Communications sponsored. The workshop
will address IP-based TV and multidisciplinary applications of IP
video, which will not only radically change the telecommunications and
the entertainment industries, but they are also expected to stimulate
and enhance creativity, professional productivity and community relations.

In particular, the workshop intends to have ample time for
discussion amongst participants on research topics of emerging trends in
the area of media delivery and how the networks, current and future, will
support the converged multimedia.

The workshop encourages submissions to attract attendance from
both academia and industry. Thus, the workshop seeks innovative
technical papers that consolidate and present the leadingedge research
prototype development, deployment and performance studies in the
following multimedia and multidisciplinary areas:

- Network design impacts of IP-based video convergence
- Architectures for converged systems especially those
targeting multiscreens and combining mobility
- Video convergence, Mobile TV, Mobile Social TV applications and
interactivity
- Scalable compression, Network coding, congestion control, rate control of
IP-based TV content
- Encoding technologies for maintaining the integrity and optimise the QoE
of IP-based TV content
- Cross-layer dynamic adaptation and end-to-end QoS issues
for heterogeneous IP-based TV networks
- Video Content Distribution, Networks and P2P architectures
for distributed services
- Innovative methods for evolving IP-based TV services
(including algorithmic aspects of computer networking oriented to
billing, pricing and advertising models, large-scale data management, etc.)

PAPER SUBMISSION
Paper submissions for this workshop should follow the submission format and
guidelines for regular conference papers, and be submitted electronically
before submission deadline. Please see conference web site
http://ism.eecs.uci.edu/ for details. Submitted papers will undergo a peer
review process and accepted papers will be published in the special section
of the main conference proceedings.

At the closing ceremony of the workshop, there will be a Best
Workshop Paper Award that will consist of a recommendation for publication
at IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM). For considering publication
at TMM, this paper should be an extended version (30-40%) of the
original contribution presented at the workshop.

Furthermore, outstanding papers will be invited for publication (TBC) in a
Special Issue of a major journal (indexed in SCI) relevant to the main
topics promoted at this workshop. For this purpose, those selected papers
should be an extended version of the original contribution presented at the
 workshop.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Additionally, the workshop plans to bring a distinguised speaker to talk on
IP-based TV in Industry, i.e., to discuss original contributions from
various industry IP-based TV domains (e.g. consumer electronics,
broadcasters, producers, broadband companies, software and hardware
developers, telecom operators).

DEMOS
The workshop encourages IP-based TV companies to present
contributions which are especially relevant to the future video networks
and IP-based TV industry. Therefore, this topic is not intended to present
research work (only). Contributions concerning (amongst others)
with IPbased TV area like live demos, business cases, market
insights, innovation, case studies, etc. are welcomed. More details at
