PV 2013 - 20th International Packet Video Workshop 2013

The 20th International Packet Video Workshop (PV 2013) is devoted to presenting technological advancements and innovations in video and multimedia transmission over packet networks, in particular wireless and Internet networks. The workshop provides a unique venue for people from the media coding and networking fields to meet, interact and exchange ideas. Its charter is to promote the research and development in both established and emerging areas of video streaming and multimedia networking. PV 2013 will be held in San Jose, CA USA on December 12 and 13th. As in previous years, the workshop will be a single-track event and welcomes paper submissions from both cutting-edge research, and business and consumer applications. PV 2013 will be immediately following the Picture Coding Symposium, which will be held also in San Jose, CA.
There will be both regular and special sessions. In general, the workshop seeks papers in all areas of media delivery over packet-based networks. Authors are especially encouraged to submit papers with real-world experimental results and real datasets. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Cloud and peer-to-peer system architectures
Media streaming, distribution and storage support
Multimedia communications and system security
Multi-core and many-core architecture support
Networked GPUs, graphics and virtual environments
Networked games, real-time immersive systems
Operating system, middleware and network support
Web 2.0 systems and social networks
Next-generation video like multi-view, panorama and 3D
Wireless networks and embedded systems for multimedia applications
Content-centric networking
In particular, we are interested in soliciting papers that discuss system-level support improving performance with multi-core and many-core processors, as well as papers that focus on multimedia applications on mobile devices and/or in a cloud computing environment.
Prospective authors are invited to submit an electronic version of full papers, in PDF format, up to 8 printed pages in length (double column IEEE conference format). Prospective session organizers are also invited to submit special session proposals to the technical program co-chairs: John Apostolopoulos john.apostolopoulos-AT-gmail.com and Pål Halvorsen paalh-AT-ifi.uio.no.
