 Advances  in  computer   and   network   technologies   and   the
 availability of large-capacity storage devices have significantly
 advanced  multimedia  capabilities  of  computer  platforms   and
 consumer  devices.  The need to support digital video within this
 multimedia  environment  imposes  significant  demands  on   such
 multimedia  systems.  Technologies  such as video compression are
 therefore critical in such systems.


 This conference brings  together  practitioners  and  researchers
 working  in  all  aspects  of  digital video. The conference will
 serve as  a  forum  for  exchange   of  novel  ideas   on   video
 compression  research,  codec  development, hardware and software
 implementations. Presenters will  be  encouraged  to  demonstrate
 their    digital   video   solutions.    Also    encouraged   are
 presentations   on   the   underlying   concepts   behind   these
 technologies  and the compromises required when implementing such
 technologies within real-world resource constraints.


 Papers are solicited in all areas  of  digital  video  and  audio
 codec methods, including, but not limited to:
 * basic video coding algorithms (DCT based, fractals, etc.)
 * scalable video coding schemes (wavelets, sub-band, pyramids)
 * motion-estimation techniques
 * bitrate control issues and implementations
 * pre and post processing for video compression
 * MPEG, H.261 standards related video coding methods
   (algorithms, implementations, software-only solutions)
 * software-only video coder implementations
 * special hardware implementations (VLSI, DSP, parallel processor)
 * very low bit rate video coding techniques including H.26P
 * morphological and model based coding methods
 * video coding for wireless and mobile applications
 * combined source-channel coding
 * error concealment methods
 * video scene content analysis in compressed and uncompressed
   domain
 * perceptual quality quantification
 * audio compression methods


 Papers describing case studies of digital video codec algorithms,
 technologies  and  system  integration  issues  are also welcome.
 Each paper will be reviewed by members of the program  committee.
 Please  submit  a 5-10 page, double-spaced  summary for review on
 July 3, 1995 along with your abstract.
