MMN 2014 - IEEE CIT 2014 Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Networks (MMN 2014)

We have witnessed the rapid development of wireless sensor networks over the past decade, with advancements in network communication protocols, system design, signal processing, controls and other aspects. Especially, there has been increasing interest on Mobile Multimedia Networks (MMN) in recent years. Such mobile multimedia networks are extremely valuable in situations where traditional deployment mechanisms fail or just not suitable, and where sensors cannot be manually deployed or air-dropped. Such areas include underwater or airborne sensor networks, robotic sensing, structural health monitoring, advanced health care delivery, video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, etc. Many challenging and interesting topics will be involved in research of mobile multimedia networks, (e.g., energy-efficient multimedia source coding, MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery, cross-layer optimization, secure multimedia streaming, network localization, coverage and deployment, and cooperative transmission for multimedia delivery, etc.).
The MMN 2014 workshop aims to provide researchers who share similar research interests to meet and address various aspects of analysis, design, optimization, implementation, and application of mobile multimedia networks. In this workshop, we solicit research papers with respect to all aspects of mobile multimedia networks. Particularly, we are interested in the research submissions focusing on the following aspects, but not limited to:
Capacity modeling, performance analysis, and theoretical analysis
Experimental and test bed studies, simulation tools
Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions
Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming
Mobile multimedia network architectures, deployments, and heterogeneous applications
Semantic annotation for mobile multimedia streams processing and management
Energy-efficient mobile multimedia networks
Cross-layer optimization for effective communications
Context/content aware approaches for facilitating multimedia streaming
Secure multimedia streaming transmission and QoS
Cooperative transmission for multimedia delivery and collaborative in-network processing
Energy-efficient multimedia source coding
Topology control and synchronization protocols
Distributed source coding and multimedia encoding techniques
Network localization, coverage and deployment techniques
MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery
