Workshop on Impact of Scalable Video Coding on Multimedia Provisioning (SVCVision)
Collocated with MobiMedia – 6th International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference
6th-8th September 2010 – Lisbon, Portugal
http://www.mobimedia.org/ws_SVCVision.html
Aims and Scope
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) refers to the possibility of removing certain parts of a video bit stream in order to adapt it to a changing usage environment, e.g., end device capabilities, network condition or user preferences. SVC has been an active standardization and research area for at least 20 years, reaching back to H.262/MPEG-2, which offered scalable profiles. However, these previous attempts suffered from a significant loss in coding efficiency as well as a large increase in decoder complexity (and thus energy consumption), which hindered market adoption. Only the most recent attempt, i.e., the SVC extension of H.264/AVC, focuses on avoiding these disadvantages. Since H.264/SVC standardization started in 2003, it has been at the focus of many multimedia research groups.
Today’s increasing variety of end devices (smart phones, tablet PCs, Netbooks, Laptops, PCs, networked HDTVs, …) and the associated multitude of Internet connectivity options (GPRS/EDGE, UMTS, ADSL, PLC, WiMAX, …) provide particular momentum for SVC, which can be easily and pervasively adapted to these various usage environments. SVC also allows end devices to only decode a sub-set of the SVC bit stream, thus enabling in particular mobile end devices to minimize the necessary (processing) power requirements.
This workshop aims to provide a forum for both academic and industrial participants to exchange and discuss recent advancements and future perspectives of SVC.
SVC topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Robust streaming, error resilience and error concealment
- Streaming in heterogeneous environments
- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) video distribution
- Internet Protocol television (IPTV)
- Energy-efficient video distribution
- Content adaptation (e.g., scaling, rewriting, transcoding) and summarization
- Complexity optimization and new tools for achieving scalability
- Adaptation decision taking & context information
- Storage & file format
- Conditional access & protection
- Novel applications & implementation experiences
Important Dates
Paper Submission: 23. April 2010
Notification: 28. May 2010
Camera Ready: 25. June 2010
All accepted papers will be published in Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) series and included in major article indexing services.
Workshop PQS Perceptual Quality of Systems
Third International Workshop on Perceptual Quality of Systems is a direct successor to the successful workshop series inaugurated in Herne in 2003, and in Berlin in 2006.
The quality of systems which address human perception is difficult to describe. An engineering approach to quality includes the consideration of how a system is perceived by its users, and how the needs and expectations of the users develop. Thus, quality assessment and prediction have to take the relevant human perception and judgement factors into account.
The workshop is intended to provide an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between both academic and industrial researchers working on different aspects of perceptual quality of systems. Papers are invited which refer to methodological aspects of quality and usability assessment and evaluation, the underlying perception and judgment processes, as well as to particular technologies, systems or services.
Contributions are welcomed in (but not limited to) the following areas (please note that in all of these areas both theoretical and empirical approaches are encouraged):
Methodologies and Methods of Quality Assessment and Evaluation
Metrology: Test Design and Scaling
Quality of Speech and Music
Quality of Multimodal Perception
Perceptual Quality vs. Usability
Semio-Acoustics and -Perception
Quality and Usability of
· Speech Technology Devices
· Telecommunication Systems and Services
· Multi-Modal User Interfaces
· Virtual Reality
Product-Sound Quality
The workshop will take place in the Bischof Bennohaus, a villa-like conference center located in Bautzen, near Dresden, Germany. All participants will be accommodated in this center. Accomodation and meals are included in the workshop fees. A shuttle bus service will collect participants from downtown Dresden and transport them to the workshop venue.
We invite your papers, posters and demonstrations on these topics, and look forward to seeing you in Dresden in September 2010.

2nd IEEE PEDISWESA’10
2nd IEEE Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Communications in
Distributed Systems and Web based Service Architectures (PEDISWESA’10)
RIccione, Italy, June 22 – 25, 2010
In conjunction with the 15th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (IEEE ISCC’10)
http://lacl.univ-paris12.fr/mokdad/WorkshopIscc2010/index.htm
http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2010/
Scope
Performance evaluation is still a topic that attains a lot of attention in both distributed
and mobile systems as well as Web based services architectures. Due to the recent
advances in internet based applications as well as distributed and mobile communication systems, we are witnessing a variety of new technologies. However, these systems
are becoming very large and complex at the same time. Several challenges remain to be
resolved before these systems become a commodity. Guaranteeing QoS and provisioning
of web-based systems as well as distributed and mobile systems and evaluating their
communication performance represent among the challenging problem in the design of
these systems. Quantitative analysis can be very difficult and may be intractable because
of the state space explosion. New methods and tools have recently emerged for these
kinds of complex systems, such as Stochastic Automata Networks, Stochastic bounds, PEPA, just to mention a few.
This workshop focuses on the performance evaluation of both distributed and mobile
systems, as well as Web based services architectures using both analytical methods
and simulation studies. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new
research related to QoS and communication performance evaluation of these systems. Submitted papers must not have been previously published elsewhere nor currently under review in any another conference or journal.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
· Communication performance evaluation of distributed and mobile systems
· Performance evaluation of distributed and web-based systems · Measurement, analysis, modeling · Tools and software for performance evaluation · Simulation and measurements techniques · QoS for Web services architectures · Services Web composition · Quantitative analysis · Stochastic comparisons · Network Protocols design for Web service devices · Routing optimization · Bandwidth management This workshop focuses upon the QoS and communication performance analysis, methods
and modeling of distributed systems and Web based services architectures. Workshop and Program Co-Chairs
