NIME 2014 - 10th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'14)

10th IEEE International Workshop on
Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment
(NIME'14)
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
10 January, 2014
Co-Located with
11th IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2014)

Theme and Scope
The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas:
Application for Entertainment
* Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games
* Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session
* Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...)
