WTVD 2006 - II Workshop on Digital TV

OBJECTIVES & SCOPE

The II Digital TV Workshop (II WDTV) will be held in conjunction with the XXIV Brazilian Symposium on Computer Networks (SBRC 2006) on May 30, 2006 in Curitiba, Brazil. The objective of the II WDTV is to congregate researchers that work in this media.

The first WDTV edition has taken place at the beginning of the research conducted by 20 university consortia that aimed on devising a Brazilian DTV reference model. The II WDTV intends to gather the first results achieved by consortia, as well as present emerging theories and technologies for television. We expect to disseminate ideas, promote debates among academic and industrial sectors, and provide results about new concepts on DTV and related technologies, chiefly on interactive services, applications for Digital TV networks, and integration with mobile telephony networks.
