Objectives

The 6th International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems
Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 96) is the international
workshop among active researchers and practitioners who are building
innovative multimedia systems, networks and applications. While we
will focus on the state of the art technology in networking and
operating system support for multimedia systems, we will also seek for
practitioners' papers from a variety of area, including media toolkit,
mobile communications, VR, real-time systems, software agents, digital
library, and distributed computing systems. It is also intended to
provide extensive discussion periods during the workshop to discuss
the important issues which may require future research. Relevant
topics for the workshop include:

   High-speed/ATM networks 
   Multimedia-oriented desk, local and wide area networks 
   Workstation and PDA architectures for multimedia 
   Multimedia network interfaces 
   Cell-based system architectures 
   Mobile systems for multimeida 
   Communication protocols for multimedia 
   Multicast protocols and media scaling 
   Micro-kernel and OS support for real-time communications 
   Resource management and reservation in the OS and network 
   End-to-end admission control 
   Quality of service and synchronization frameworks 
   Multimedia storage, server, and I/O architectures 
   Distributed multimedia systems 
   APIs and CM programming abstractions for multimedia 
   TV set-top device communication 
   VOD system architecture 
   Software agents for multimedia systems 
   VR systems
