Papers </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>1st IEEE Workshop on Cloud-Centric Media System
(CCMS-2012) </div>
<div>In conjunction with IEEE ICME 2012, 9-13 July, Melbourne,
Australia </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>Recent advances in communications technologies have witnessed
a </div>
<div>growing and evolving multimedia content delivery market based
on </div>
<div>information gathering, manipulation, and dissemination. It is a
fact </div>
<div>that personal communications, computing, broadcasting,
entertainment, </div>
<div>etc. have turned into streams of multimedia content, and the
various </div>
<div>communication and network technologies have become the means to
carry </div>
<div>that content to a wide variety of terminals. Existing media
delivery </div>
<div>platforms are faced with many new challenges: low utilization
in </div>
<div>system resources, stringent power constraints of the mobile
devices, </div>
<div>unpredictability in the wireless communication channel,
and </div>
<div>heterogeneity in access networking technologies, just to name a
few. </div>
<div>On the other hand, the comparatively unlimited resources offered
by </div>
<div>cloud services and their flexible resource allocation
mechanisms </div>
<div>present a unique opportunity for taming some of the
aforementioned </div>
<div>challenges for media delivery targeted at a N-screen (e.g., TV,
PC, </div>
<div>smartphone and tablet) experience. Cloud computing is emerging as
a </div>
<div>promising technology to provide additional resources for
many </div>
<div>media-rich
applications. </div>
<div>The goal of this workshop is to bring together the
state-of-the-art </div>
<div>research contribution that describes original and unpublished
work </div>
<div>addressing the new emerging techniques on cloud-based media system.
It </div>
<div>seeks high quality submissions in both theoretical and
practical </div>
<div>research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
the </div>
<div>following
scopes: </div>
<div>l Cloud-assisted media content
recommendation </div>
<div>l Resource scheduling and allocation in the cloud for
mediaapplications </div>
<div>l Distributed caching of media
data </div>
<div>l Cloud-based multimedia
processing </div>
<div>l Novel architecture for media
clouds </div>
<div>l Performance measurements for cloud-based media
systems </div>
<div>l Cloud-based media applications, such as online gaming,
virtual </div>
<div>desktop,
etc. </div>
<div>l Multimedia communications over
cloud </div>
<div>A submission is 5 standard IEEE conference page; one more paper may
be </div>
<div>allowed with additional publication
fee. </div>
<div>Important
dates </div>
<div>u Paper submission due: 5th March,
2012 </div>
<div>u Decision notification due: 26th March,
2012 </div>
<div>u Camera-ready and registration due: 9th April,
2012 </div>
