Call for Poster Papers
Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing and Novel Parallel Computing
at 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo
July 2, 2009 (third day of the ICME conference), Cancun, Mexico
http://www.icme09.org/workshop/MMSP_NPC09/MMSP_NPC_Workshop.html
The goal of this workshop is to give the attendees (1) an overview and
trend of the emerging MMSP applications and (2) a deep-dive into the
interaction between multimedia application and novel parallel
architecture.
In particular, the increasing architectural complexity and application
sophistication make it essential to have an inter-disciplinary
research between algorithms and hardware designs. The workshop is to
bridge the gap between algorithms and architecture designs for the
development of future computer and multimedia systems. In particular,
multi-core processors are now prevalent everywhere from desktops and
graphics processors to laptops and embedded systems. Technology
predictions indicate that this trend will continue and that there will
be increasing numbers of cores (homogenous or heterogeneous) in future
systems. It is clear that multimedia systems of tomorrow will be (and
must be) implemented on platforms with multiple cores. While the
challenges of designing multi-core systems in hardware are many,
writing efficient parallel applications that utilize the computing
capability of many processing cores may reveal to be even more
challenging. Existing serial algorithms will need to be redesigned --
the best sequential algorithm is not necessarily the best parallel
algorithm. Signal processing algorithm designers must understand the
nuances of a multi-core computing engine. Only then can the tremendous
computing power that such platforms provide be harnessed efficiently.
We are organizing a poster session in the workshop. We would like to
attract both tutorial-like and non-tutorial, research-oriented poster
papers on (1) novel multimedia applications that can be enabled by
platform with multiple cores, and (2) design examples of multimedia
signal processing on platforms with multiple cores that demonstrate
the techniques or algorithm changes for efficient implementations.
===Submission Procedure===
Prospective authors should submit 2-page white papers via
https://www.cmsworkshops.com/ICME2009/Papers/Submission.asp?SessionType=Workshop
according to the following timetable. The white paper should summarize
the key takeaway messages ("What can the attendee learn from the
poster?"), the motivation ("Why should a attendee care the poster?"),
the significance of the topic ("Why is this topic important?"), a
brief history ("What are the related work and authors' prior
publications in this topic?"), and the outline of the content ("What
do you plan to explain the poster?"). The authors should properly
answer all the questions above so that the white paper can be reviewed
efficiently. After answering the above questions, the authors can
selectively describe some details within the rest of page limit. The
white paper should be no more than 2 pages in the IEEE single-space
double-column format.
Please note that a special issue on "Signal Processing on Platforms
with Multiple Cores" that focuses on design and applications is
planned for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine
(http://apollo.ee.columbia.edu/spm/?i=cfp/Mar10). Prospective authors
are encouraged to submit the tutorial-like whitepapers to both the
workshop and the Magazine.
