Media Ecosystem Deployment in a Content-Aware Future Internet Architecture

Paper entitled "Media Ecosystem Deployment in a Content-Aware Future Internet Architecture" has been accepted for presentation at 16th IEEE International Symposium on computer and communications 2011  (ISCC) to take place on 28June - 1 July in Corfu, , Greece. Acceptance Rate: 34%

The paper presents the concept and initial system architecture proposed by ICT-ALICANTE FP7 project. The architecture exploits Media-Centric Residential Gateways and Content-Aware network overlays developed on top of existing physical transport infrastructures  in order to realize a media ecosystem enabling efficient media distribution.

Workshop on Multimedia-Aware Networking 2011 (WoMAN’11)

Workshop organizers: Christian Timmerer (Klagenfurt University, Austria), Daniel Negru (LaBRI, France), Eugen Borcoci (UPB, Romania), George Xilouris (Demokritos, Greece)

Latest advances in multimedia content encoding and representation, including HDTV, 3DTV, multi-view video and associated added-value interactive services, are offering to the end user a truly rich multimedia experience. At the same time advances in communications systems and network technologies give the ability to apply in-network processing techniques in order to take advantage of the available user and media contextual information for efficient, flexible and auto-configurable media transmission. On the other hand network-aware applications and cross-layer mechanisms are being developed in order to take advantage of network information in order to adapt the media to the current network conditions, terminal capabilities, and user preferences.

This workshop solicits novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of multimedia-aware networking. In particular, workshop papers should describe algorithms, issues and experiences related to content-aware networking and network-aware applications, future (media) Internet architectures, self-* and adaptivity, cross-layer design and optimization, applications, and interoperability.

The papers of WoMAN’11 will be published within the proceedings of ICME’11 and, thus, must be formatted according to the author guidelines of ICME’11 (see http://www.icme2011.org/ for details). Accepted papers will be also available through IEEE Xplore™.

Best paper awards are sponsored by Dolby and RADVISION respectively.
