For seventeen years, NOSSDAV has fostered cutting-edge, state-of-the-art research in multimedia and newly emerging areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. In 2007, NOSSDAV will be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking and strongly encourages work in progress in emerging areas. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. Additionally, papers proposing new directions for research or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are welcomed. This year, NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers where the source code to experimental or real systems is released. And, NOSSDAV will also give extra consideration to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Assembly Hall
A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope. Please feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to check if a particular paper or topic is within the workshop scope.

As always, student participation is strongly encouraged. To encourage a good mix of seasoned researchers as well as students, we will be offering discounted registration for non-student co-authors of a paper or other non-student participants associated with the author of a paper (participants from the same institution).

Submissions (as well as the camera ready final versions of accepted papers) should be no longer than 6 pages. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals.

This year, a few of accepted NOSSDAV papers with highest quality are selected and their authors are invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal(MMSJ). MMSJ is a well-known International journal, published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM organization. This journal publishes new research results in the areas of multimedia systems, multimedia networking, multimedia applications, multimedia security, multimedia education, multimedia coding, and multimedia retrieval systems.
