CALL FOR PAPERS:
With the spread of information technology, broadband network and multimedia technology has gained a rapid development. Its spreading application goes with the great demands of the economic globalization. Thus the 4th IEEE International Conference on Broadband Network& Multimedia Technology (4th IEEE IC-BNMT 2011) will be held in Shenzhen, China on Oct. 28-30 2011.

The Internet is one of the most successful technology achievements. And TCP/IP technology is widely regarded as the convergence platform for communication infrastructures and services. To deadline will be considered for review. The length of a paper is limited to 5 pages and extra pages will be charged.
Selected best papers will appear in SCI. The paper published in the conference proceedings will be indexed by EI and ISTP and included in the IEEE Xplore.

Keynote Speech:
1. Prof. Andrew Perkis, NTNU-Q2S, Norway

Topic: Immersive Media Technology Experiences

Speechmaker: Prof. Andrew Perkis, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology - Centre of excellence Quantifiable Quality of Service in Communication systems - NTNU-Q2S

Abstract:
The talk will start by defining and discussing the aspects of Immersion, Media Technology and Experiences, followed by efforts of linking these to three main Focus Areas: User, Content and Infrastructure. The glue in the linking is by the Users interacting with the Content through devices connected to the Infrastructure. Such Interactions and Devices demands New Digital Media and abilities for the Content to Adapt to User requests and the available Infrastructure (Networked Media Handling). This structure allows for piloting new advanced applications and services such as Digital Storytelling, Digital Art, Serious gaming, Presence and immersive experience (interactivity) etc. The talk will also outline potential usage scenarios and industrial collaborations.

Bio:
Prof. Andrew Perkis was born in Norway 1961. He received his Siv.Ing and Dr. Techn. Degrees in 1985 and 1994, respectively. In 2008 he received an executive Master of Technology Management in cooperation from NTNU, NHH and NUS (Singapore). He is professor at the Department of Electrical engineering and Telecommunications at NTNU. In 1999/2000 he was a visiting professor at The University of Wollongong, Australia and in 2008 a visiting professor at the National University of Singapore.

He is a member of the management team of the Norwegian National Centres of Excellence - Quantifiable quality of service for communication systems - Q2S - in the ICT domain. There he is managing the area of "Networked Media Handling. He was a cofounder of and manager of Midgard Media Lab at NTNU (1999-2010) and a co-founder of Adactus As (2003- sold 2010 to Vizrt AS).

His research is focusing on Multimedia Signal Processing, specifically within new digital media using second generation image and video compression schemes, multimedia descriptors and The Multimedia Framework (MPEG-21). He has been one of the initiators and developers of the concept of Universal Multimedia Access applied to wired and wireless systems. His main contributions are in ensuring optimal media presentations on hand held devices by using negotiations of device capabilities prior to media delivery. Â His work includes topics within methods and functionality of content representation, quality assessment and its use within the media value chain in a variety of applications. He is also involved in setting up directions and visions for new research within media technology and art. He is currently heading a group of researchers aiming at establishing a national centre for research based innovation within Immersive Media Technology Experiences (IMTE).

He is a senior member of the IEEE, member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences - NTVA, member of ACM and member of The Norwegian Society of Chartered Engineers (TEKNA).

He has more than 150 publications at international conferences and workshops and more than 50 contributions to International standards bodies.
