The workshop, hosted at<br>the University of British Columbia (UBC), will continue to focus on emerging<br>research topics, controversial ideas, and future research directions in the area<br>of multimedia systems research.<br><br>As in previous years, we will maintain the focused single-track format a setting<br>that stimulates lively discussions among the senior and junior participants.<br>NOSSDAV encourages experimental research based on real systems and real data sets.<br>Public availability of the source code and data sets discussed in papers presented<br>at NOSSDAV is highly encouraged.<br><br>For NOSSDAV 2011, we will accept papers on broad ranges of topics related to the<br>transmission and presentation of digital audio/video objects. We are particularly<br>interested in soliciting articles that discuss system-level support for distributed<br>social media, as well as papers that focus on enabling multimedia applications in<br>distributed cloud. Other topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):<br><br>* OS, middleware and network support<br>* Overlay networks<br>* Media streaming, distribution and storage support<br>* Web 2.0 systems and social networks<br>* Media sensor and ad hoc networks / embedded systems<br>* Multicore architecture support<br>* Wireless and mobile multimedia systems / network processor support<br>* Networked GPUs, graphics and virtual environments<br>* Networked games / real-time immersive systems<br>* Multimedia communications and system security<br>* Grid/Cloud computing support<br><br>Please contact the workshop co-chairs to check if your topic is within the scope of<br>NOSSDAV. Papers will be judged on their relevance, technical content and correctness,<br>and the clarity of presentation of the research. Papers should not be under review<br>at another venue nor previously published elsewhere.<br><br>Submissions should be at most SIX pages, using standard ACM proceedings style.<br>We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length<br>papers at high-quality conferences or journals.<br><br>Important Dates<br><br>Paper Submission Deadline: 24 Feb 2011<br>Decision Notification: 24 Mar 2011<br>Camera Ready Due: 7 Apr 2011<br><br>For more information, please visit the workshop website at<br><a href="http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/nossdav2011/">http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/nossdav2011/</a></body></html>
