NOSSDAV 2009 will continue the workshop's long tradition of focusing
on emerging topics, controversial ideas, and future research
directions in the area of multimedia systems research, held in a
setting that stimulates lively discussions among the senior and
junior participants.

It is also an established practice for NOSSDAV to encourage
experimental research based on real systems and data sets. Public
availability of source code and data sets is highly encouraged.

The scope of NOSSDAV has evolved over the years. For NOSSDAV 2009, we
would like especially highlight two new topics of interest:
unconventional use of GPU for multimedia and multi-core processors
support for multimedia. NOSSDAV 2009 continues to welcome submissions
in the traditional topics of networked multimedia systems, operating
system support for multimedia, and multimedia security and rights
management.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 o OS, middleware and network support for multimedia
 o Overlay networks for multimedia
 o Media streaming, distribution and storage
 o Web 2.0 systems and social networks for multimedia
 o Wireless and mobile multimedia systems
 o Media sensor and ad hoc networks
 o Grid/cloud computing support for multimedia
 o Embedded systems for multimedia
 o Multicore architecture support for multimedia
 o GPU for multimedia
 o Network processor support for multimedia
 o Tele-immersion and mixed-reality systems
 o Networked graphics and virtual environments
 o Networked games
 o Multimedia communications and system security
 o Digital rights management

A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope.
Please contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to
check if a particular topic is within the scope of NOSSDAV.

Submissions should be at most SIX pages in length using standard ACM
proceedings style. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of
what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality
conferences or journals.

Authors of selected, high quality papers from NOSSDAV 2009 will be
invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special
issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal.
