IEEE Real Time Communications Conference 2022 – VIRTUAL
The functions and scope of real-time mixed media applications are expanding as these applications are integrated with IoT, ML/AI, blockchain, voice- and financial technologies, and more. While there are conferences devoted to each of these technologies separately, and to the underlying networks and platforms that support them, the RTC Conference Technical Program is specifically interested in exploring the issues, opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of these disparate technologies. The online version of this Call for Papers can be found at Call for Papers
The RTC Research Track invites paper submissions in the area of interactive multimedia communications describing architectures, design, theoretical results, experiments, innovative systems, prototyping efforts and case studies. Papers that are accepted and presented at the conference will be submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore.
We are in particular interested in works at the intersection of multimedia interactive communications with technologies in the area of internet of things, vehicular networking, confidential computing, machine learning, network management, programmable network services, security, privacy, machine learning, voice technologies, blockchain, gaming, and robotics. The Technical Program inherits the 14-year legacy of the IPTComm Conference which evolved from a focus on Voice over IP to include some topics listed above. The archive of IPTComm publications is located at archive.
We invite paper and poster submissions including but not limited to the following topics of interest:
- Evolving Technologies and their impact on- and use within RTC Applications
- Programmable networks and edge computing
- 5G/6G networks – applications and research
- IoT networks
- Augmented and virtual reality
