CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue, the International Journal on Network Management (IJNM):
"Advances in Management of Multimedia Services"
Submission Deadline: *November 23, 2014 (extended)*
Publication: July 1, 2015
Scope of the Special Issue
In recent years, we observe several important trends in the delivery
of multimedia services: (i) increase of video bandwidth, necessitating
content placement, prioritization, scheduling, and cloud-assisted
streaming, (ii) increased importance of Quality of Experience (QoE)
for the end user, (iii) complex multimedia consumption patterns
(interactive multiple screen applications, non-linear TV content
consumption over-the-top streaming), (iv) increased mobile video
consumption (e.g. on smart phones, tablets) over several wireless
technologies, and (v) increased interest in adaptive streaming, where
client software determines the desired quality level for segmented
content.
These trends pose interesting challenges for the efficient management
of multimedia services and applications. The traditional approach of
management through a set of Quality of Service parameters (e.g. packet
loss, delay, jitter) is no longer sufficient: the quality as perceived
by the end users -the Quality of Experience (QoE)- should be taken
into account as well. For this special issue, we welcome submissions
addressing these challenges (e.g. in the areas listed below) and
presenting novel research or experimentation results.
Areas of Interest
Contributions to the following topics are of specific interest, but
are not limited to:
* Optimized multimedia network management
* Advanced network control for multimedia delivery
* Advanced content placement
* Cooperative caching
* Prediction-based caching
* Definition of QoE: methods and tools
* Objective & subjective QoE assessment
* New objective & subjective methods and algorithms
* Network diagnostics, tracing, troubleshooting for multimedia service
delivery
* Dynamic resource management for mobile services
* Adaptive video streaming in Over-The-Top and IPTV networks
* HTTP Adaptive Streaming for mobile environments
* Cognitive adaptive streaming approaches
* Content delivery to Networked video walls
* In-network synchronization
* Next generation TV delivery to multiple screens
* Context-aware user-centric media delivery
* Efficient mobile media delivery
* Multimedia delivery over advanced wireless technologies
* Multimedia service management in smart cities
* Self-organization techniques for the management of multimedia
services
* Experimental facilities for QoE evaluation of algorithms and
services
* Streaming aware video encoding
* QoE oriented coding for multimedia streaming
