The first Workshop and Exhibition on MPEG-4 held in Geneva, Switzerland, in May 2000, was a great success with tutorials given by leading experts in the field, technical sessions of very high quality, and an all-sold-out exhibition event. To continue this highly successful activity, to track MPEG-4 deployment in various markets, and to further energize the development of MPEG-4 products, the Second Workshop and Exhibition on MPEG-4 will be held from June 18 to June 20, 2001, in Hilton San Jose & Towers, 300 Almaden Boulevard, San Jose, California 95110, U.S.A. The Workshop/Exhibition is sponsored by IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in corporation with the MPEG-4 Industry Forum. It will again include tutorials on MPEG-4, exhibitions that showcase products using MPEG-4, and technical sessions on the research topics related to MPEG-4. The technical papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Workshop. Contributions are solicited in the following categories:

Technical Papers

Original technical papers are solicited on the research topics related to MPEG-4, such as encoding optimization algorithms for MPEG-4, innovative architectures and designs for implementing MPEG-4, and creative applications and innovative services using MPEG-4. Advanced research papers addressing similar functionalities of MPEG-4 are also solicited in Systems (interactivity, binary/textual representations, MM content management and protection), video coding, visual object coding, still texture coding, SNHC, audio coding, Internet streaming, etc.
