Track Chairs: Chris Chambers (BBC R&D, Chris.Chambers@bbc.co.uk), Stefan Arbanowski (Fraunhofer FOKUS Research Institute, stefan.arbanowski@fokus.fraunhofer.de)

This NEM track will focus on the efficient delivery of media to consumers both in the home as well as on mobile platforms. Issues for consideration include the use of local storage either in a stand alone mode or as a part of a bigger cloud, how content is discovered, how metadata is attached to content and how does this evolve and improve in quality and quantity to aid the user experience. One of the areas of particular interest is the interaction of mobile devices with home networking and the integration of potential services between these delivery platforms along with how the whole delivery process is managed.

Example technologies and topics that could be addressed are in the subject area of media content delivery:

• Content delivery to home networks
• Extended home networking to personal mobile devices and vehicles
• Content delivery to mobile platforms
• Cloud storage and computing
• Publishing and cataloguing media for consumers
• Managing wireless content delivery platforms in the home
• Ubiquitous content delivery services
• Multi-device cross-platform services
• Content mobility
• Content synchronisation
• Managed P2P services
• Delivery of interactive content

Papers submitted are not restricted to the topics listed above but should address issues directly related to content delivery if they are to be considered by the panel for inclusion in the workshop.
