Multimedia after a decade of research (panel discussion): multimedia after a decade of research

NOSSDAV has been around for more than ten years and it is time to reflect and ask the questions: (1) What have we learned in the last ten years? and (2) What are we going to learn in the next ten years? At a macroscopic level we have truly learned how to capture, encode, transmit, decode, and display audio and video. Prior to 1990 there was almost no support for solutions integrating all of these functions in an end-to-end solution. From this perspective, not only have we taken the first steps in supporting delivery and reception of audioand video-based content, but we are beginning to do it well. In the last 10 years, NOSSDAV has certainly helped contribute to this evolution.
