Title: Video Compression : A New Era

Abstract
Significant increase in resolution and perceptual quality will be expected for home and mobile video applications as future devices and content move toward high-definition (for mobile applications) and ultra-high-definition (for home applications). Existing AVC/H.264 technology will soon be unable to efficiently meet the compression demand for transmission. With the recent work from the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) project, a new generation of video compression standardization process aiming at major improvements over the current AVC/H.264 standard has begun. In this talk, we will briefly look at the technology and applications of video compression from the past to the present, and into possible directions and challenges for the next five years. We will discuss key compression techniques and trends for future video coding efficiency, perceptual quality, and computational complexity. We will share our experience and our work targeting both home video and real-time mobile video applications.

Quality of Web Services Assessment : Maintainability

Abstract of Keynote Address
Web services that are based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) technologies enable integration of diverse IT processes and systems and have been gaining extraordinary acceptance from the basic to the most complicated business and scientific processes. The maintainability is one of the important factors that affect the quality of the Web services that can be seen a kind of software project. The effective management of any type of software projects requires modeling, measurement, and quantification. The complexity degree of a Web service can be measured by analyzing its WSDL document because WSDL provides the description of the Web service to the service requestors. In order to provide a common data type system and to represent application’s data the WSDL document is supported by XML Schema which is either imported to or embedded into the WSDL document. The decision in XML Schema design to represent the application’s data exchanged affect the understandability of the exchanged messages described in WSDL document and in turn comprehending of a Web service defined by WSDL document. In this point of view it will help to analyze the structures of the messages for measuring the data complexity of a Web service via the usage of software metrics.
This paper present a complexity metric named as, ‘Distinct Structured Element Repetition Scale (DSERS)’ for evaluating quality of XML schema documents (XSD) written in W3C XML Schema Language. In particular, DSERS is based on occurrences of distinct elements structures of XSD in W3C XML Schema Language. This metric can be used to evaluate and maintain the quality of the Web service in terms of its maintainability.
