CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The IEEE Benelux Chapter on Consumer Electronics in conjunction with the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) kindly invites you for a

One-day Workshop concerning
“Resource management for media processing in networked embedded systems”

Date: Thursday, March 31^st, 2005
Venue: University of Technology Eindhoven (TU/e), The Netherlands.
Room: “De grote zaal”, Kennispoort (KP).

Introduction

Are you interested in the resource management in networked embedded systems that combine a large diversity of media content, such as audio, video, HTML, and 3D graphics?
The IEEE Benelux Chapter on CE offers an interesting workshop program containing both lectures from distinguished speakers as well as short presentations from Ph.D. students on this topic. Media processing is often characterized by highly fluctuating, content dependent, resource requirements. Combined with their real-time constraints, media processing puts high demands on resource management in networked embedded systems. This is especially true for consumer systems that provide high-quality media, which have a low tolerance for artifacts and quality fluctuations. Several prominent scientists and architects from both universities and the industry in Western Europe will present their work and will participate in the discussion. Be there!

Registration guidelines and location map

The purpose of the meeting is to meet informally and interact with each other. Therefore, the number of participants will be limited. Further guidelines are:

• The program is open for those who have pre-registered only.
• Registration is on a first-come first-served basis.
• Registration deadline is March 25^th, 2005.
• Registration fee is € 60,- and € 40,- for Ph.D. students, to be paid in cash at the entrance (no cheques, cards, etc.).
• The registration fee includes lunch, refreshments and proceedings. Registrations can be changed by e-mail up to March 25^th, 2005. Afterwards, payment is obligatory.
• A map of the University premises is available, where building KP is indicated. Building KP is at walking distance from the central railway station of Eindhoven. Because the number of parking places near building KP is very limited, it is strongly recommended to park your car near building AUD or in the parking garage at the Kennedyplein (see web-site KvK).
