We are pleased to announce the following Panel

The Many Homes of Contemporary Video

Synopsis:

Contemporary video applications have progressed well beyond traditional streaming and encompass diverse disciplines such as information theory, signal processing, machine learning, and computer science. In this panel, experts working in some of these areas will share their vision and research results.  Some topics to be addressed include 1) Performance metrics for assessing video quality 2) Advanced video delivery mechanisms (Caching and Storage techniques, FEC, Scalable Video Codecs etc.)  and 3) Future trends in video research.  Ultimately we expect all participants to encounter several stimulating question for further research in this area.

Confirmed Panelists:

bulletProf. Yao Wang, (NYU)
bulletDr. Shantanu Rane (MERL)
bulletProf. Sheila Hemami (Northeastern University, USA)
bulletProf. Jorg Liebherr (Univ. of Toronto)
