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 The goal of this workshop is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contribution that describes original and unpublished work addressing the new emerging techniques on cloud-based media system.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