Multimedia communication through mobile networks and the Internet has rapidly become an essential way
for us to communicate in the recent years. Multimedia communication includes and is not limited to
peer-to-peer video calls and chatting, multi-point video conferences, live or adaptive streaming of
movies and events, , interactive viewing of graphic applications fully running in the cloud, etc. It
involves audio, speech and video, all at the same time. To guarantee QoS, bandwidth limitation and network
congestion are the main issues to be tackled. Furthermore, arising importance of low-delay interactive
multimedia communications and applications requires special care and robustness against network delay
and jitter. In this workshop, we aim to bring together speech, audio, video, and communication experts
to present their latest research ideas on how to improve the QoS of multimedia communication and applications
from both source coding and transport perspectives.

This workshop aims at high-quality original papers. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

? Advanced video coding technologies, including high efficiency video coding, scalable video coding,

3D video coding.

? Bio-inspired and advanced speech and audio coding

? Multi-channel and distributed audio and video coding

? Speech, audio, image and video processing

? Auditory model, linguistic model and language model for spoken language processing and communication

? Sensor array and multichannel systems, localization of audio and acoustic sources

? Machine learning and cognitive research in speech and audio processing

? Detection of speech and audio signal in complex environments

? Statistical methods for speech and audio signal processing

? Joint speech, audio and video application and optimization

? Low delay, interactive multimedia communications

? Error control and congestion control

? Error resilience coding and error concealment

? Complexity optimization, GPU and ASIC friendly design and implementation of speech, audio and video

signal processing system

We encourage researchers from industry and academia to submit original works on Acoustics and Video Coding
and Communication. Full papers (up to 6 pages) will be published as part of the IEEE ICME 2011 main conference
proceedings.
