Multimedia Streaming in Information-/Content-Centric Networks (MuSIC ...

The MuSIC 2017 workshop, which will be the third instance of this workshop (following MuSIC 2015 and MuSIC 2016), thus pursues two major goals:

First, the workshop will give emphasis to the predominant source of traffic, i.e., real-time multimedia data delivery/streaming, and the resulting requirements, challenges and opportunities in the context of ICN. The workshop will specifically consider video-on-demand (VoD) and voice/video conferencing (live) applications on ICN, but other distributed multimedia applications are welcome, such as gaming. All aspects of media streaming in ICN will be addressed, including: basic principles and insights; protocols, mechanisms and policies (strategies) in ICN nodes; routing; measures and metrics for real-time behavior, QoS and QoE; evaluation methodology; prototype implementations, testbeds, and demos; and comparisons of different ICN architectures and with IP-based systems. Following up on the major goals of the MuSIC 2015 and MuSIC 2016 workshops, MuSIC 2017 will provide a forum that will bring the Multimedia Systems/Communications and Information-/Content-Centric Networking communities together to present new work, spawn intense discussions, exchange results and learnings at the intersection of the two areas, and help establish common terminology, work and projects.
