Voice communication using cellular phones has matured and become a significant part of our life today. In the recent past, the emergence of portable computing devices such as notebook computers and personal digital assistants have led to the opportunity of such services as electronic mail, fax and calendar/diary programs being provided to mobile or roving users. Observing this trend, it can be predicted that the traffic over next generation, high-speed wireless networks will be dominated by personal multimedia applications such as video/news-on-demand, telemetry services, traveler information systems, WWW browsing, and so on. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical paper, panel discussions, as well as online demos of service applications or technology related to wireless multimedia. The issues and challenges for the development of wireless multimedia networks not only encompass a broad spectrum of research topics such as quality-of-service provisioning, broadband wireless, network support, prootocols, or handover, but also involves a way to envision the evolution of multimedia networks in the future. TOPICS: Technical papers and/or product demos are solicited in all areas related to wireless multimedia and its interfaces (or co-existence) with the conventional wireline networks. Topics include but are not limited to: - Third Generation Systems - Multimedia Applications - Fixed or Mobile Wireless Multimedia Access - Wireless Network Evolution - Broadband Wireless - Wireless ATM - Quality-of-Service amd Admission Control - Multimedia Network Architecture and Protocols - Compression Techniques - Mobility Management & Handover Issues - Routing - WWW Browsing - Telemetry Services - Broadcast Data - Mobile Agents ------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submissions Deadline: April 15, 1999 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 1999 Camera-ready Manuscripts: June 30, 1999 Workshop August 20, 1999 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should E-mail a PostScript version of their full paper to wowmom99@cs.unt.edu. This E-mail address will become available by Mar 15, 1999. In order to ensure that the PostScript versions of the papers can be printed, authors should be careful that their papers meet the following restrictions: - PostScript version 2 or later. - Fits properly on "US Letter" size paper (8.5X11 inches) - Reference only Computer Modern or standard Adobe printer fonts (i.e. Courier, Times, Roman, or Helvetica); other fonts may be used but must be included in the PostScript file. - No longer than 20 pages including, pictures, tables and references. In addition, authors should separately E-mail the title, author names and full address, and abstract of their paper to the Program Chairs: Sajal K. Das at das@cs.unt.edu and Kalyan Basu at kbasu@nortel.com. It is expected that all accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. The Workshop Proceedings will be published by the ACM. Selected papers will be considered for publication in the ACM/Baltzer WINET and MONET journals.
