NOSSDAV 2003 Call for Papers

Objectives: The 13th  International Workshop on Network  and Operating
Systems Support for Digital  Audio and Video (NOSSDAV) brings together
researchers, developers and practitioners  from academia  and industry
to present and  discuss new ideas  and future directions in networking
and operating  systems  support  for all   forms of   networked  human
interaction. From large  immersive  environments to  portable wireless
multimedia devices, NOSSDAV covers a   broad spectrum of cutting  edge
multimedia research that strongly impacts infrastructure and the human
experience. NOSSDAV  invites submissions on  all areas  of multimedia,
but  strongly encourages   submissions in  newly  emerging specialized
areas such as    access  grids, advanced  telepresence   and immersive
applications, wireless multimedia,  multimedia  security, and embedded
multimedia devices  (e.g.,   Personal Video  Recorders, etc.),   among
others.   While  NOSSDAV is   primarily  a research  forum, innovative
experimental     commercial    designs   and    prototypes are    also
welcome.   Traditionally,   NOSSDAV   has  emphasized   high   quality
experimental research based on prototype or real systems. NOSSDAV 2003
will continue this tradition.

Submissions: Submissions are sought in any area related to Network and
Operating Systems Support  for Digital Audio  and Video. The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- ubiquitous multimedia services
