CALL FOR PAPERS
========================================================================
International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Multimedia Computing 
			     (ParDMCom-06)
		  http://multimedia.ucc.ie/ParDMCom/ 

in conjunction with the International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed 
Processing and Application (ISPA-06) ,Sorrento, Italy, December 1-4, 2006
========================================================================

DESCRIPTION
--------------
For the last decades Multimedia computing has emerged as an important
technology to generate content based on images, video, audio, graphics,
and text. Furthermore, the recent new development represented by High
Definition and Interactive television will generate important computing
problems connected with the creation, processing and management of
Multimedia content. Dealing with HD Multimedia content (image, video and
sound) will generate a huge volume of data to process which can lead in
a natural way to parallel and distributed computing. Moreover, the
inherent data parallelism of Multimedia content data makes this type of
computing a natural application area for parallel and distributed
processing.

This workshop aims to merge the recent research achievements in
developing new theories, algorithms, architectures, systems and
integrated multimedia platforms that exploit parallel and distributed
computing.

TOPICS OF INTEREST (but not limited to the following):
------------------------------------------------------
- Parallel and distributed algorithms for multimedia.
- Parallel and distributed architectures for multimedia.
- Parallel multimedia computing servers.
- Multimedia content creation, processing, and management using
  parallel and distributed architectures.
- Parallel processing architectures of multimedia set-top boxes.
- Multimedia agent technology and parallel processing.

IMPORTANT DATES:
----------------
Submission Deadline: August 1, 2006
Notification: Sep 1, 2006
Final Copy Due: Sep 20, 2006

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
-------------------------
Authors should prepare the manuscript with no more than 15 pages in PDF file 
(free style).

Accepted papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series, Springer (pending). Authors of accepted papers, or at least 
one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the 
conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital library 
after the conference.

Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be considered for a journal 
special issue.
