Call for Papers
IEEE 4th International
Symposium on Multimedia Software Engineering (MSE) is an international
forum for multimedia and software engineering researchers to exchange
information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice
of multimedia software engineering, as well as to identify the emerging
research topics and define the future of multimedia.
Special Track: Web Services & Multimedia
Web
services are Internet-based, modular applications that perform a
specific business task and conform to a particular technical format.
The technical format ensures each of these self-contained business
services is an application that will easily integrate with other
services to create a complete business process. For Web
Services architecture, XML plays a role of normalizing the exchange of
business data among trading partners by providing cross-platform
approach in the areas of data encoding and data formatting. Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP), built on XML, defines a simple way to
package information for information exchange across system boundaries. Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Registries, on the other hand, allow programmable elements to be placed on Internet where others can access remotely.
The typical
usages of Web Services for multimedia are media content management,
media streaming and interactive application development. With the
advancement of wireless information appliances, Web Services interfaces
provide a means to enable the content or service can be created once
and accessed by multiple SOAP-enabled devices such as Wireless phones,
Palm devices, set-top boxes as well as regular Web browsers.
This
special track at MSE 2002 is the first attempt to provide an
opportunity for researchers and engineers to exchange ideas regarding
Multimedia and emerging Web Services technology in the world.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
- Web Services architecture for multimedia
- Web Services security for multimedia
- Web Services discovery for multimedia content creation and service composition
- Web Services for streaming media
- Web Services for media content management
- Web Services enabled rich media for e-business
- Quality of service for Web Services
- UDDI enhancements for media content management
- SOAP enhancements for streaming media
- Multimedia for enhancing Web Services
- Case studies for Web Services and multimedia
