ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION
WORKSHOP AND EXHIBITION ON MPEG-4
AT ISCAS 2000
MPEG-4 is the most recent International Standard for coding multimedia
objects. To energize the development of MPEG-4 products and explore the
full potential of MPEG-4 technologies, a Workshop and Exhibition devoted
to MPEG-4 will be held:
from May 28 to May 31, 2000 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Workshop/Exhibition is sponsored by IEEE Circuits and
Systems Society in cooperation with the MPEG-4 Industry Forum. It will
be co-located in time and place with IEEE International Symposium on
Circuits and Systems (ISCAS 2000). It will include short courses on
MPEG-4, demonstrations/exhibitions that showcase prototypes and products
using MPEG-4, and technical sessions on the state-of-the-art research
topics related to MPEG-4. The Workshop papers will be published in the
Proceedings of ISCAS 2000. A selected number of Workshop papers will be
invited to submit an expanded version for publication in a special issue
of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology
(CSVT). Contributions are solicited in the following categories:
* Technical Papers
* Demonstration/Exhibition
Technical Papers
Original technical papers are solicited on the research topics related
to MPEG-4, such as encoding optimization algorithms for MPEG-4,
innovative architectures and designs for implementing MPEG-4, and
creative applications of using MPEG-4. Advanced research papers
addressing similar functionalities of MPEG-4 are also solicited in
video coding, visual object coding, still texture coding, SNHC, audio
coding, systems, Internet streaming, and A/V content management and
protection. Papers without comparison results with MPEG-4 tools will
not be handled by the Workshop but may be referred to ISCAS Multimedia
and Communications Track for review.
