Welcome to the NOSSDAV 2007 website. NOSSDAV 2007 will be held in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign June 4th-5th, 2007.

In its 17th year, the International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video has a long and successful history of bringing together the top researchers, students, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss new ideas and future directions in multimedia applications, networking, operating systems, and other related areas of computing. Over the years, the scope of NOSSDAV has broadened to include networked games, sensor networks, multimedia interfaces, and peer-to-peer networking. For 2007, we will continue NOSSDAV's emphasis on emerging research areas and fostering extensive discussion of current and future research directions.

This year, a few of accepted NOSSDAV papers with highest quality are selected and their authors are invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a special issue of ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal(MMSJ). MMSJ is a well-known International journal, published by the Springer Verlag, and sponsored by the ACM SIGMM organization. This journal publishes new research results in the areas of multimedia systems, multimedia networking, multimedia applications, multimedia security, multimedia education, multimedia coding, and multimedia retrieval systems.

We are very excited to be continuing the NOSSDAV tradition and look forward to your participation. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact the program co-chairs at the following email addresses:
