Zhu Li is an Associate
Professor at with the Dept of Computer Science & Electrical
Engineering, Univ of Missouri, Kansas
City (UMKC). He received his PhD In Electrical & Computer Engineering from
Northwestern University in 2004, and worked as researcher in the Multimedia
Computing and Communication area in both industrial labs (Motorola Labs, Huawei
Media Lab, Samsung Research America) and academia (Hong Kong Polytechnic
University). His research interests are rate agnostic content identification
and info centric networking, content delivery acceleration, transmission and
cache de-duplication, source-channel coding and cross layer optimization
issues.
Lea Skorin-Kapov is an Assistant
Professor at the University of Zagreb, Croatia where she received her PhD
degree in 2007, after having previously worked as a senior researcher in the
R&D Center of Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Zagreb, Croatia. Her main research interests
are related to QoE modeling of interactive multimedia and Web-based
applications, and management/optimization of QoS/QoE.
Short Description of the area
Today's networked society is increasingly
relying on a plethora of applications integrated into our everyday lives to
support communications, entertainment, social interactions, business,
well-being, consumer communications, smart life, etc. Applications accessed via
various devices are characterized by rich multimedia content delivery, high
network resource consumption, and strict QoS/QoE requirements. The move towards
5G further envisages extreme real-time and ultra reliable services and
applications delivered via high-speed mobile broadband networks. Ranging across
one-way media consumption, user-generated content, sensor-based applications,
extremely low delay networks, ultra-high bandwidth mmWave radio access, to highly interactive applications, high
precision indoor and outdoor positioning and location services, various design
issues remain to be addressed. Challenges include aspects such as application
design, dynamic service adaptation logic, personalization and
context-awareness, content placement and caching, and transport protocols and
architectures. This area will solicit papers related to all aspects of the
design, delivery, and evaluation of existing and emerging networked
applications.
