About Talk: This talk will present an editor’s personal perspective on writing an excellent paper for technical publication. This talk will first begin with the preparations needed before one starts actual writing. The talk will then examine briefly the main building blocks of a technical publication. More details and emphasis will be on how to build a convincing case for a technical publication through a series of strategies that may transform a correct paper into a compelling one. Step-by-step explanations will be given to illustrate how to compose an excellent paper based on sound technical contents. Finally, this talk will explain some IEEE publication guidelines.

The abstracts of the other three talks:
 
Recent Advances in Video Adaptation for Mobile Device & Networking
 
This talk will first present an overview of research activities in wireless multimedia communication and networking in the multimedia communication group at the Wireless Center of Excellence, Florida Institute of Technology. Then this talk will present some recent advances in video adaptation for mobile devices access via wireless networking. The research in such emerging applications of video transmission has been driven by the fundamental changes in recent mobile wireless revolution, especially, in the distribution of video contents from conventional fixed reception of TV sets to the contemporary mobile access by numerous portable and handheld devices via wireless networking. We shall address the need and demonstrate the innovations to meet the challenges in the pervasive distribution of video contents to resource limited mobile devices. In particular, three different research issues will be presented: (1) video decoding at mobile devices with severe resource constraints, (2) video adaptation for mobile devices with limited display, and (3) video adaptation for browsing through mobile devices. Both analytical and experimental results will be shown to demonstrate that the proposed approaches are able to consistently perform the required video access tasks in such an emerging mobile wireless video communication and networking applications.
 
 
A Chain-Type Wireless Sensor Network for Monitoring Long Range Infrastructures
 
This talk will first present an overview of wireless sensor networks. We will then identify technical challenges as well as open research problems in various areas in wireless sensor networks. We will then present an investigation on a special class of wireless sensor networks for monitoring critical infrastructures that may extend for hundreds of miles in distances. Such networks are fundamentally different from traditional sensor networks in that the sensor nodes in this class of networks are deployed along narrowly elongated geographical areas and form a chain-type topology. Based on careful analysis of existing sensor network architectures, we first demonstrate the needs to develop new architecture and networking protocols to match the unique topology of chain-type sensor networks. To maintain energy efficient operations and maximize the lifetime for such a chain-type sensor network, we devise a smart strategy for the deployment of cluster heads. Protocols for network initialization and seamless operations of the chain-type sensor networks are also developed to match the proposed hierarchical architecture and cluster head deployment strategy. In particular, an energy efficient media access control (MAC) protocol for chain-type wireless sensor networks has been developed. This novel TDMA scheduling protocol that makes full use of the available channel reuse inherent in the chain-type sensor networks to develop energy efficient and high data throughput MAC protocol for sensor data transmission. Simulations have been carried out to verify the performance of the hierarchical architecture, the smart node deployment strategy, and the corresponding network initialization and TDMA MAC protocols.
 
 
Recent Advances in Scalable Video over MIMO Wireless Channels
 
This talk will first present an overview of research activities in wireless multimedia communication and networking in the multimedia communication group at the Wireless Center of Excellence, Florida Institute of Technology. Then, this talk will focus on research projects in video over simultaneous multiple mobile wireless links. The research in such a new type of video transmission has been driven by the fundamental changes in wireless communications from single antenna systems to multi-antenna systems. We shall address the need and demonstrate the innovations to meet the challenges in conducting research in this emerging area.  In particular, recent advances in (1) layered scalable video transmission, (2) sub-channel power re-allocation, and (3) adaptive channel selection with partial channel status information, will be presented. Both analytical and experimental results will be shown to demonstrate that the proposed approaches are able to consistently outperform the conventional single channel schemes in terms of improved video quality, reduced computational complexity, and superior flexibility to adapt to limited resource constraints in mobile wireless video communication and networking applications.
