Multimedia 2011 - Workshop on Green Multimedia Communication

Workshop on Green Multimedia Communication

This workshop will be held with IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, Barcelona, Spain, July 2011.

Goals: To establish a forum for sharing the latest progress in developing energy-conservation techniques for multimedia communication.
Significant amounts of energy may be consumed for the production, storage, transmission, reception, and consumption of multimedia content. Many techniques have been proposed to reduce the energy consumption of multimedia communication, from efficient network protocols to better compression algorithms, from adjusting display’s brightness to reducing frame rates. The workshop provides a forum in which researchers can discuss ideas about the recent progress in green multimedia communication.

Topics
Topics of interest related to this workshop include but are not limited to:
principles for designing technologies for energy-efficient multimedia communication
energy conservation techniques for production, storage, transmission, reception, and consumption
energy-efficient networking protocols or communication algorithms for multimedia content delivery
energy-efficient servers for multimedia streaming
requirements to fairly and objectively evaluate energy-saving techniques
multimedia content as benchmarks
metrics to evaluate multimedia quality when energy-conservation techniques are applied
tools (hardware, software, or both) that can quantify energy savings for multimedia content production, storage, delivery, and display
algorithms for energy management in office, computer labs to handle efficient mechanisms to reduce power consumption in multimedia activities.
Intelligent ambient systems to schedule multimedia communication based on limited resources
This workshop especially welcomes submissions of data, tools, and programs that can be publicly available to other researchers. Contributors are encouraged to provide live demonstration in the workshop.

Important Dates
Submission: February 20, 2011
Notification to authors: April 10, 2011
Final version: April 20, 2011

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must be no longer than eight 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references; two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading; and a text block 6.5" wide x 9" deep. Author names and affiliations should appear on the title page. Papers must be in PDF and submitted on-line through the ICME web site.

Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. IEEE, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. Author Guidelines.
