-------------------------------------------------------------------
With the rapid proliferation of multimedia data, including audio, image,
video and graphics, and the great advance of multimedia technologies such
as the JPEG and MPEG standards, more and more network-based multimedia
Applications (e.g. IPTV, VoD, VoIP etc.) emerge and they have become part
of our daily life. All these applications share a basic requirement, i.e.
broadband services. Indeed, driven by the rapid growing demand of
multimedia service, broadband Internet access is now a common setup for
many Internet users in modern cities. In May 2008, US broadband
penetration has reached 89.3% among active Internet users.
Nevertheless, despite the high data rate, the broadband multimedia
services are not satisfactory. For example, a computer may enjoy a 100Mbps
of data rate connection to the Internet. However, even streaming 500kbps
of a video clip may still suffer from occasion playback interruptions.
This is mainly due to lack of QoS support in the Internet. Here is just
one example to show the challenge of providing good-quality broadband
multimedia services. The situation becomes even more challenging when we
consider a variety of networks, diverse end users, notorious wireless
channels, mobility, inter-networking, co-existence of different types of
traffic, etc.
The goal of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art
approaches and technical solutions in the area of network technologies for
emerging broadband multimedia services. The issue will provide a
convincing forum for researchers and practitioners to present their latest
research results.
Scope
The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to
network technologies and media control technologies for emerging broadband
multimedia services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* New protocols for multimedia services
* New multimedia architectures/platforms
* Network security for multimedia services
* Performance evaluation of multimedia services
* Network measurement/monitoring for multimedia services
* Pricing, accounting and billing for multimedia services
* Reliability, availability, serviceability of multimedia services
* Seamless mobility of multimedia services
* Management of multicast and broadcast multimedia services
* Multimedia management in next generation networks
* Multimedia services in mobile and broadband wireless networks
* P2P multimedia streaming
* QoS management in multimedia networks
* Cross-layer optimized multimedia networks
* IPTV and emerging applications
* Network coding technology for multimedia delivery
* Cooperative or collaborative communications for multimedia services
* Adaptation, reconfiguration and transcoding of multimedia services
