The 1st International Workshop on
Design, Deployment, and Evaluation of Network-assisted Video Streaming
ViSNext 2021
https://athena.itec.aau.at/events/visnext21/
Munich, Germany (Virtual Conference), December 6-10, 2021
Co-located with CoNEXT 2021 conference
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, we have witnessed phenomenal growth in live video
traffic over the Internet, accelerated by the rise of novel video
streaming technologies, advancements in networking paradigms, and our
ability to generate, process, and display videos on heterogeneous
devices. Regarding the existing constraints and limitations in
different components on the video delivery path from the origin server
to clients, the network plays an essential role in boosting the
perceived Quality of Experience (QoE) by clients. The ViSNext workshop
aims to bring together researchers and developers working on all
aspects of video streaming, in particular network-assisted concepts
backed up by experimental evidence. We warmly invite submission of
original, previously unpublished papers addressing key issues in this
area, but not limited to:
Design, analysis, and evaluation of network-assisted multimedia system architectures
Optimization of edge, fog, and mobile edge computing for video streaming applications
Optimization of caching policies/systems for video streaming applications
Network-assisted resource allocation for video streaming
Experience and lessons learned by deploying large-scale network-assisted video streaming
Internet measurement and modeling for enhancing QoE in video streaming applications
Design, analysis, and evaluation of network-assisted Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) streaming
Network aspects in video streaming: cloud computing, virtualization techniques, network control, and management, including SDN, NFV, and network programmability
Routing and traffic engineering in end-to-end video streaming
Topics at the intersection of energy-efficient computing and networking for video streaming
Network-assisted techniques for low-latency video streaming
Machine learning for improving QoE in video streaming applications
Machine learning for traffic engineering and congestion control for video streaming
Solutions for improving streaming QoE for high-speed user mobility
Analysis, modeling, and experimentation of DASH
Big data analytics at the network edge to assess viewer experience of adaptive video
Reproducible research in adaptive video streaming: datasets, evaluation methods, benchmarking, standardization efforts, open-source tools
Novel use cases and applications in the area of adaptive video streaming
Advanced network-based techniques for point clouds, light field, and immersive video
Low delay and multipath video communication
Submission Instruction
