CCMS 2012 - 1st IEEE Workshop on Cloud-Centric Media System (CCMS-2012)

1st IEEE Workshop on Cloud-Centric Media System (CCMS-2012)
In conjunction with IEEE ICME 2012, 9-13 July, Melbourne, Australia
Recent advances in communications technologies have witnessed a
growing and evolving multimedia content delivery market based on
information gathering, manipulation, and dissemination. It is a fact
that personal communications, computing, broadcasting, entertainment,
etc. have turned into streams of multimedia content, and the various
communication and network technologies have become the means to carry
that content to a wide variety of terminals. Existing media delivery
platforms are faced with many new challenges: low utilization in
system resources, stringent power constraints of the mobile devices,
unpredictability in the wireless communication channel, and
heterogeneity in access networking technologies, just to name a few.
On the other hand, the comparatively unlimited resources offered by
cloud services and their flexible resource allocation mechanisms
present a unique opportunity for taming some of the aforementioned
challenges for media delivery targeted at a N-screen (e.g., TV, PC,
smartphone and tablet) experience. Cloud computing is emerging as a
promising technology to provide additional resources for many
media-rich applications.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together the state-of-the-art
research contribution that describes original and unpublished work
addressing the new emerging techniques on cloud-based media system. It
seeks high quality submissions in both theoretical and practical
research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following scopes:
l Cloud-assisted media content recommendation
l Resource scheduling and allocation in the cloud for mediaapplications
l Distributed caching of media data
l Cloud-based multimedia processing
l Novel architecture for media clouds
l Performance measurements for cloud-based media systems
l Cloud-based media applications, such as online gaming, virtual
desktop, etc.
l Multimedia communications over cloud
A submission is 5 standard IEEE conference page; one more paper may be
allowed with additional publication fee.
