The ninth International Packet Video Workshop (PV' 99) will be held at the
Davis auditorium, of Columbia University in New York City. The workshop is
devoted to presenting technological advancements and innovations in video
transmission over packet networks, in particular, the Internet. Packet Video
Workshops have been unique in providing a common ground for people from
video coding and networking fields. Presentations on theory and practice,
standards activities, and business and consumer applications are encouraged.

We cordially invite you to take part in this workshop by submitting your
work and look forward to seeing you in New York City in April 1999 for what
will be a most rewarding and exciting experience!

PV'99 is scheduled to take place in the week following Picture Coding
Symposium 99 (PCS' 99)  which is being held in Portland Oregon, on 21-23
April 1999. For information on  PCS'99 please contact:
pcs@pcs.ece.orst.edu
