The workshop seeks innovative technical papers on all aspects of IPTV

in multimedia broadcasting, including architectural standardization,

content protection, quality of service and quality of experience,

middleware, etc.

Topics include but are not limited to:

* Architectures for IPTV systems (including NGN based, Non-NGN based,

IPTV service and scenario, etc.)

* IPTV Service deployments, interactivity, datacasting

* IPTV QoS/QoE issues (including performance considerations, traffic

management, cross layer reliability solutions, monitoring, etc.)

* Video Content Distribution Networks for distributed IPTV systems

* IPTV system integration issues (including head-end integration,

networking, end systems, portability scalability / interoperability

aspects, etc.)

* Mobile IPTV (system deployment, mobile extension considerations, etc.)

* IPTV test beds and field trials for multimedia broadcasting applications

* IPTV home networks, set-top-box and home networking

* Architectures for P2P-based IPTV Service delivery

* Mathematical and analytical models for IPTV networks

* IPTV content consumption measurement, congestion control, rate control

* IPTV processing, video coding and processing

* IPTV content protection and watermarking.

Additionally, the workshop plans to bring an invited speaker to talk

on "IPTV in Industry", i.e., to discuss original contributions from

various industry IPTV domains (e.g. consumer electronics,

broadcasters, producers, broadband companies, software and hardware

developers, telecom operators). The objective will be discussing

evidences of issues regarding IPTV technologies' dealing with industry

cases in the above areas of interest.
