CALL FOR PAPERS

4th IEEE International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Application (IMSAA-10) December 15-17, 2010 Bangalore, India www.imsaa.org

While the convergence of data and communication networks and the prevalence of wireless communications had sparked many new applications and enabling architectures, there are still significant technical challenges in the areas of next generation communication system and multimedia services, including issues related to performance, security, reliability, scalability, mobility, interoperability, and deployment.

IMSAA-10 is designated to tackle these challenges by bringing together researchers, engineers and practitioners from academia and industry working on Internet multimedia systems. The conference will include a peer reviewed program of technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, and demonstration sessions. For further information, please see the conference website: www.imsaa.org
