7th IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (IEEE NIME'11)
Co-Located with IEEE ICCCN
Maui, Hawaii, July 31 - August 4, 2011
Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society

THEME AND SCOPE
The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design.
This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas:
Applications for Entertainment
* Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games
* Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session
* Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...)

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS as PDF files (formatted for letter (8.5x11-inch) paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages.
Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts may not exceed 8 pages).
Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and e-mail address(es).
Submission format and instruction, as well as other important information, can be found on the author guide web page of the main conference (http://www.icccn.org/icccn11/author.html).
Paper Submission Process
Papers have to be submitted to a track via EDAS http://edas.info//N10075.
Accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE ICCCN 2011 main conference proceedings as NIME'11 is considered part of ICCCN2011.
The proceedings will be available through IEEE Xplore. Papers that are not presented at the workshop by one of the co-authors will not appear in IEEE Xplore.
