----------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE MMSP'99 ----------------------
IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MULTIMEDIA SIGNAL PROCESSING
SEPTEMBER 13 -15, 1999, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
http://eivind.imm.dtu.dk/mmsp99/
The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical
Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
Sponsored by the Danish National Center for IT Research, Nokia A/S,
Hewlett-Packard A/S, Tele Danmark A/S, and Thomas B. Thriges Fond.
Thanks to the sponsorship of Nokia A/S a number of scholarships are
available to provide financial support for participants from overseas,
particularly Ph.D. students and Postdocs.
The workshop will feature keynote addresses, technical presentations,
panel discussions, and special sessions by invited speakers.
The topics include, from a signal-processing viewpoint:
Integration of Media,
Human/machine Interfaces, and
Multimedia Networks including specially the Internet.
In particular, papers are solicited for, but not limited to, the following
general areas:
1. Multimedia Processing: Compression for Multimedia (Audio, Video,
Speech, etc.). Integration of Media, Joint Audio-Video Processing.
2. Multimedia Databases: Indexing, Retrieval, and Archiving, Authoring
and Editing, Digital Library, Content Preparation and Presentation.
3. Multimedia System Design and Implementation: Parallel Architecture,
ASIC Design, Software and Hardware Design, System Integration,
Signal Acquisition.
4. Human-Machine Interface and Perception: Content Recognition/Analysis/
Synthesis, Speech Recognition and Synthesis, Audio/Music Signal
Processing and Synthesis, Multimodal Interaction (Speech, Image, and
Video), Audiovisual Perception Quality and Human Factors, Agents,
Avatars and Talking Heads.
5. Multimedia Communications: Equalization and Synchronization, Transport
Protocols, QoS Control, Error Concealment and Loss Recovery, Rate
Control and Hierarchical Coding, Wireless Communication.
6. Multimedia Applications: WWW and Hypermedia, Videoconferencing
and Collaboration Environments, Education and Distant Learning,
Telemedicine, Home-shopping, Gaming and Virtual Reality, SDTV, HDTV,
SHDTV and Video on Demand.
7. Standards and Related Issues: ITU-T Standards for Audiovisual
Communication, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7, MHEG, DAVIC, ATM Forum,
HTML, VRML, and others. Compressed Domaine Processing.
