                    Call for Papers and Announcement

                          SPIE/ACM MMCN 2006

                  Multimedia Computing and Networking 2006

     Part of the IS&T/SPIE International Symposium on Electronic Imaging
                In cooperation with: ACM SIG Multimedia

                          15-18 January 2006

                          San Jose, CA, USA

The objective of this  conference  is  to  bring  together  researchers  and
practitioners  contributing  to  all  facets  of  multimedia  computing  and
networking. We especially encourage full and  original  papers  on  emerging
technologies such as residential broadband networks and digital  appliances,
multimedia and QoS support for 3G and ad hoc  networks,  multimedia  in  P2P
environments,  sensor  networks  and  grids,   power-aware   computing   and
communications, mobile and fixed wireless multimedia  networks  and  content
distribution  networks.  We  will  specially   feature   industrial   design
experiences and showcase tools for next-generation  multimedia  systems  and
applications.   Presenters   will   be   encouraged   to   make   multimedia
presentations and demonstrate their solutions in person.

Papers are solicited in  all  areas  of  multimedia,  including,  but  not
limited to:

Multimedia Networking
.     home, mobile and broadband networks
.     QoS control and scheduling
.     push technologies, content distribution and other emerging access
      technologies
.     Internet data streaming, delivery and wide-area caching
.     sensor networks for multimedia
.     grid use for multimedia

Measurement and Modeling
.     performance measurement of multimedia systems
.     statistical modeling of server traffic and server software
.     multimedia system simulations and benchmark comparisons

Multimedia Computing

.     distributed virtual reality
.     multimedia authoring

      Authors are invited to submit both research and industrial  papers  on
original, unpublished work describing current research and  novel  ideas  in
the area of multimedia computing and networking. Papers whose  contributions
are supported by experimental evaluations  are  strongly  encouraged.  Paper
submissions  should  not  exceed  15  single-spaced,  single  column   pages
including figures, tables, and references, using a typeface no smaller  than
