The First IEEE International Workshop on IP Multimedia Communications (IPMC) and

The Second International Workshop on Multimedia Analysis and Processing (IMAP)

August 2 - 6, 2009

San Francisco, CA, USA

In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Network (ICCCN) 2009

The explosively growing momentum behind worldwide broadband deployment and the emerging convergence of voice, image, video and data services offer the base for various modern multimedia applications and services such as mobile TV, multimedia messenger and blog, social networking, video conferencing, Internet gaming, interactive TV, IPTV, and multimedia visualization, navigation, management, search and retrieval. The advances of computing and communication over wired and wireless networks and new technologies ranging from multimedia coding, network infrastructure, content distribution protocols, quality of service (QoS) management to post-processing and analysis, have stimulated more diversified multimedia applications and services.

In recent years, the emerging new techniques have been employed to effectively integrate context and content for multimedia mining, management, indexing and retrieval. The semantic and sensory gaps, which are difficult or even impossible to bridge using traditional approaches, have been narrowed to facilitate many real-world multimedia applications. Popular applications and services such as youtube, facebook, Google, Windows Live messenger, myspace, and variations are breaking the media monopoly of big content and distribution companies, new multimedia based social networking applications demand even more efficient and intelligent multimedia search and mining capabilities. The increasing service requirements by multimedia consumers inspire the rapid developments of interface design, interactive models, communication infrastructure, mobile devices, etc. In addition, the advances of video coding make many bandwidth-hungry video communication applications possible. Novel video source and channel coding techniques such as multiple description codes, transcoding, and network coding can certainly improve the efficiency of video transmission over the Internet. New communication protocols such as peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies further significantly improved the video broadcasting quality due to its distributed architecture that is capability to provide scalability, inherent robustness and fault tolerance to the best effort-based Internet. On the other hand, IPTV, built on managed IP network, is growing rapidly, targeting at providing high quality video viewing experience that is at least as good as what is offered by today's cable/satellite TV. At the same time, advances in wireless network technologies and video delivery mechanisms such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and the 3G and 4G cellular systems provide alternatives to their wired peers, allowing users to access and produce video at any time from anywhere.

The challenges for those applications and services to be successfully deployed range from limited computation power considering the rich media content, difficulty in content analysis and understanding, to the state of the transport network. Besides, better video viewing experience always calls for better compression algorithm, data rate adaptation, adaptive error control, and error concealment technologies. A central theme in all these efforts is novel approaches and solutions for multimedia computation and communications. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a professional forum for industry and academic researchers from around the world to present their state-of-the-art accomplishments, exchange latest experiences, and explore future directions for multimedia computing and communications. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following:

Multimedia content analysis, representation, and understanding
