Call for Papers
For
July 3, 2009
Hilton Cancun,
Cancun, Mexico
in conjunction with 2009 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo
(ICME)
Scope and Topics
Today we live in a digital
world. The advent of digital technologies has made the creation and
manipulation of multimedia content simpler. It offers higher quality and a lot
more convenience to consumers. For example, it allows one to make perfect
copies. Together with the growing volumes of digital data, increasingly the
Internet is used for the distribution of the digital data. The ease with which
digital goods can be copied and redistributed makes the Internet well suited
for unauthorized copying, modification and redistribution. The rapid adoption
of new technologies such as high-bandwidth connections, wireless networks, and
peer-to-peer networks is accelerating this process.
Multimedia security and content protection technologies and systems are intended to protect the intellectual property rights of content owners in scenarios in which the participants have conflicting goals and are not fully trusted. However, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. This workshop intends to provide a forum that researchers, developers and practitioners from multimedia security communities come together to share the vision of “multimedia security and content protection in this rapidly growing digital world”. That is from reporting latest technology advances, identifying new high impact problems that can shape the future of research, finding applications for the identified technologies, as well as legal and business issues related to multimedia security.
The
workshop seeks submissions in the general areas of multimedia security in its
processing, transmission and consumption. We welcome submissions on emerging
standards, interoperability and practical application issues. Topics include, but
are not limited to:
Content Protection:
l Architectures for content protection systems
l Broadcast encryption and revocation schemes
l Traitor tracing and forensics
l Digital Rights Management
l Network protection and security
l Attacks and protocol security
l Security evaluation and benchmarks
l Software/hardware tamper resistance (including software
watermarking and code obfuscation)
l Trusted computing
Multimedia Security
l Authentication and encryption
l Multimedia watermarking, fingerprinting and
identification
l Multimedia forensics
l Privacy and anonymity
l Steganography and steganalysis
Applications, Standard, and Formats:
l Emerging applications including secure home network
l New business models in multimedia security and content
protection
l Multimedia security related standards
l Legal and policy issues and their interactions with
technological development
l Implementations, demonstrations and prototypes of
secure multimedia application systems
This
workshop will contain some invited presentations and presentations accepted by
open submission to report latest academic research and recent industrial
progress on digital rights management (DRM), multimedia security and content
protection technologies and standards. The format will be a series of
presentations held in a panel/forum type of environment to encourage
interaction and discussion of topics and issues.
Guidelines for Submission
Authors
are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position
papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or
share future vision. Manuscripts should not exceed four (4) pages in
double-column IEEE format. Please visit the ICME 2009 website, www.icme09.org, for the submission
instructions. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished
research or engineering work, not currently under review by another conference
or journal. Please note that dual submissions to both the main ICME conference
and workshop will not be accepted.
