Call for Papers

The 20th International Packet Video Workshop (PV 2013) is devoted

to presenting technological advancements and innovations in video

and multimedia transmission over packet networks, in particular

wireless and Internet networks. The workshop provides a unique

venue for people from the media coding and networking fields to

meet, interact and exchange ideas. Its charter is to promote the

research and development in both established and emerging areas of

video streaming and multimedia networking. PV 2013 will be held in

San Jose, CA USA on December 12 and 13th. As in previous years, the

workshop will be a single-track event and welcomes paper submissions

from both cutting-edge research, and business and consumer

applications.



PV 2013 will be immediately following the Picture Coding Symposium,

which will be held also in San Jose, CA.


There will be both regular and special sessions. In general, the

workshop seeks papers in all areas of media delivery over packet-based

networks. Authors are especially encouraged to submit papers with real-

world experimental results and real datasets. Topics of interest include

(but are not limited to):
- Cloud and peer-to-peer system architectures
- Media streaming, distribution and storage support
- Multimedia communications and system security
- Multi-core and many-core architecture support
- Networked GPUs, graphics and virtual environments
- Networked games, real-time immersive systems
- Operating system, middleware and network support
- Web 2.0 systems and social networks
- Next-generation video like multi-view, panorama and 3D
- Wireless networks and embedded systems for multimedia applications
- Content-centric networking

In particular, we are interested in soliciting papers that discuss

system-level support improving performance with multi-core and many-core

processors, as well as papers that focus on multimedia applications on

mobile devices and/or in a cloud-computing environment.


Prospective authors are invited to submit an electronic version of full

papers, in PDF format, up to 8 printed pages in length (double column

IEEE conference format). The proceedings will be published by the IEEE

Xplore shortly after the workshop.
