CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Please mark your calendar to attend the PV-2001 for a rewarding experience in the field of "Advanced Packet Video” The 11th International Packet Video Workshop (PV-2001) will be held on 30 April - 1 May 2001 in Kyongju, Korea (located in 350-kilometer southeast of Seoul), which was the capital city of ancient Korea (A.D 676-A.D 935). The workshop is devoted to presenting technological advancements and innovations in video transmission over packet networks, in particular, the Internet. Packet Video Workshops have been unique in providing a common ground for people from video coding and networking fields. Presentations on theory and practice, standards activities, and business and consumer applications are encouraged. In 2001, the workshop is scheduled to take place in the week following Picture Coding Symposium (PCS-2001) which will be held in Seoul on 25-27 April 2001. We cordially invite you to take part in this workshop. Further details and updated information for PV-2001 can be found at http://pv2001.kaist.ac.kr. With broad and active participations from all over the world, we are convinced that the PV-2001 will be very successful. Program Overview: The session program will have 8 sessions with 56 papers from 16 countries. This will be further highlighted by two invited talks and one panel discussion. The 23 papers will be presented by oral presentation and the other papers will be presented by poster presentation.
