Scope
Following the success of the first MediaWiN 2006 in Athens, Greece,
MediaWiN 2007 Workshop will be organized in association with the Twelfth
IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2007). ISCC is an
excellent forum for presenting ideas and results at the junction of
communication and computation and provides the perfect framework for
hosting the Second MediaWiN Workshop.

MediaWiN 2007 offers the opportunity to leading researchers, industry
professionals, and academics around the world to meet, present their
work, and discuss the latest advances in multimedia systems, services,
and applications over wireless networks. The aim of the forum is to
disseminate research results, introduce novel applications, promote new
ideas, share experiences with real systems and networks, and foster
liaison creation between the research, scientific, and industrial
communities. Visionary, rigorously presented papers that can steer
discussion to new topics are welcome.

Topics of Interest
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent
reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and
unpublished work and should not be
currently under review by any other conference or journal. Topics of
particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Quality and Reliability of Multimedia in Wireless Networks
 - Cross-Layer techniques for multimedia communications
 - Multimedia traffic charging and accounting techniques
 - Coexistence between Multimedia and Elastic flows in wireless networks
 - Multimedia support over multi-hop wireless networks (mesh, ad-hoc,
sensor networks)

Performance Modeling and Analysis of Multimedia Applications
 - Performance evaluation of multimedia services via analysis,
simulation and experiments (voice, video, interactive gaming)
 - Design, implementation, and testbed/experimental evaluation of
multimedia over wireless
 - Energy efficiency and battery power consumption in protocols for
wireless multimedia
 - Traffic measurements and usability studies
 - Error modeling, recovery, and adaptation for multimedia applications
 - Scheduling and link adaptation techniques
 - Remote navigation of 3D models

Emerging Standards & Technologies for Wireless Multimedia Communications
 - Recent work in standardization fora, including IEEE 802.11, 802.15,
802.16, 802.21
 - Network architectures & management for wireless communications
(802.11v, CAPWAP)
 - Analysis and evaluation of compression techniques and standards
 - Emerging and visionary multimedia applications for wireless mobile
networks

Multimedia Tools, End Systems, and Applications
 - Cooperative multimedia applications
 - Design and improvements of MAC service differentiation solutions
 - Mobility and handoff management
 - Security issues in wireless multimedia applications
 - Game theoretic approaches in designing and deploying multimedia
applications
