********* CALL FOR PAPERS ********* 
SPECIAL SESSION: VIDEO DELIVERY OVER INFORMATION-CENTRIC NETWORKS
PACKET VIDEO WORKSHOP 2013
********* 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.

This year, the workshop will include a special session titled "Video Delivery over Information-Centric Networks". We invite papers that investigate issues relating to video applications and rich media delivery over different ICN architectures. 

Information on the conference and the formal call for papers is available here: http://pv2013.itec.aau.at/call-for-papers/

*** IMPORTANT *** Please email the organizers of the workshop by May 15 if you are tentatively considering a submission. We would like to get a rough idea of interest.

Abstract: Information-Centric Networking is a new networking field that recasts content delivery via packet networks. Instead of host-centric routing of packets based on addressed endpoints, ICN raises named data to first-class citizen status and routes directly based on data names. The role of the network is to find and deliver named and secured chunks of data to consumers who request the data by name, independent of the actual source. This introduces fundamental changes in transport protocols, routing, caching, and network behavior. The field of ICN has seen significant research advances in recent years, with multiple projects worldwide attempting to solve the problems of designing a new ground-up networking system. ICN's focus on content delivery offers special opportunities for video applications; however, these opportunities come with new challenges as well. This session will focus on video delivery and streaming over ICN networks, including identification of key challenges and opportunities for both existing video applications and new applications and delivery techniques enabled by ICN. 

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 IEEE Xplore shortly after the workshop.
