Applications like mobile TV, IPTV, on-demand streaming, and peer-to-peer video sharing have fundamentally changed the content distribution landscape, and have been accelerating a social and engineering revolution in media distribution and consumption. To achieve the ultimate goals of total freedom in self-expression, seamless mobile access, and any time anywhere media consumption, technology advances in various areas need to be reexamined and joined utilized under a coherent optimization framework to reach an efficient end-to-end media delivery solution. New models, metrics, and methodologies in both source, and channel coding, distributed and collaborative communications are needed to intelligently adapt the multimedia content to suit user preferences, meet device and network constraints, and achieve better communication resource utilization. The source coding and adaptation decisions of media sources need to be reconciled with the limited network resources, end-user preferences, and resource allocation schemes at network nodes. Distributed optimization schemes like pricing and game theoretical approaches are needed to improve resource allocation and management efficiency. This special issue seeks original contributions of highquality papers that report the recent advances in multimedia coding, adaptation, and transmission approaches that support multiuser collaboration and optimize the network performance for multimedia communications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Source/channel coding/adaptation techniques for increasing the elasticity of multimedia traffic * Collaborative multicast schemes utilizing source and channel diversity for efficient multimedia distribution * Distributed resource allocation and management for multimedia communication * Network utility maximization based on collaborative multimedia communication * Pricing models for collaborative multimedia transmission * Game theoretical models for multimedia contents interactions Authors should follow the Advances in Multimedia manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/am.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [IFIP-EC-NEWS] NEW: International Journal of Computer Games Technology - An Open Access Journal Datum: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 11:10:33 +0200 Von: Rauterberg, G.W.M. <G.W.M.Rauterberg(a)tue.nl> An: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> ** IFIP ENTERTAINMENT COMPUTING NEWS SERVICE ** http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec ** Send all news to: icec(a)listserver.tue.nl **************************************************** ** NOTE: Please reply to article's originator, ** not this IFIP EC News Service **************************************************** Dear Colleague: I am writing to let you know of the launch of the International Journal of Computer Games Technology, which aims to bring together both the research and development aspects of games technology, covering the whole range of entertainment computing and interactive digital media. The focus will be on three research and development frontiers: first, to expand the technology frontier in terms of both hardware and software for games, second, to validate innovative procedures including algorithms and architectures for games, and finally, to explore novel applications of games technology both for entertainment and serious games. The journal is a peer-reviewed full "Open Access" journal, i.e., the journal enables world-wide, barrier-free, online access to the full text of published research articles. All interested readers can read, download, and/or print any articles without requiring a subscription to the journal. In addition, we allow our open access authors to retain their own copyright as long as they sign a Creative Commons Attribution License, which allows readers to freely access, print and redistribute an article as long as it is properly cited. The journal has distinguished editorial board members with extensive academic qualifications, ensuring that the journal will maintain high scientific standards and have a broad international coverage. Another important aspect is the review and publication speed of the journal since the publisher's electronic Manuscript Tracking System (MTS), which is located at http://www.hindawi.com/mts/, helps reduce the review time significantly. We are then aiming for an average publication time of a few weeks following acceptance.

Thanks for your understanding. ============================================================== C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= 3rd International Mobile Multimedia Communications Conference (M O B I M E D I A 2 0 0 7) Supported by ACM, EURASIP Nafpaktos, Greece, August 27 - 29, 2007 http://www.mobimedia.org SCOPE The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. Multimedia semantic characteristics, Human Interpretation of audiovisual information, extraction and usage of semantic information, coding standards and its interaction with networking, mobility and security protocols are research issues that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that will be enabled by the new standards for mobile networking, such as triple services for mobile networks, digital television, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services, context aware services, and immersive communications in virtual environments. The efficient delivery of multimedia applications and services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous wireless networks is a challenging research objective. The research effort for the 3G/4G vision of interworking among heterogeneous technologies to achieve multimedia session continuity, retain multimedia QoS characteristics etc., amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions and restrictions under which delivery of such services can be accomplished. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers from industry and academia, working in multimedia coding, and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia semantic characteristics in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous environments * Multimedia QoS in wireless networks * Extraction and usage of semantic information * Performance evaluation of multimedia services * Multimedia Retrieval in wireless and mobile environments * Mechanisms supporting triple-play services in emerging wireless networks * Scalable Coding of multimedia in wireless and mobile networks * Cross-Layer techniques for multimedia communications over wireless networks * Joint source-channel coding * Multimedia services over ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks * Rate Control and Adaptation for wireless multimedia * P2P multimedia streaming in wireless and mobile networks * Transport protocols for multimedia in emerging wireless networks * Mobile Content Delivery Networks General Co-Chairs Tasos Dagiuklas Dept. of Telecommunication Syst. & Networks TEI of Mesolonghi, Nafpaktos, Greece Email: ntan(a)teimes.gr Nicolas Sklavos Dept. of Telecommunication Syst. & Networks TEI of Mesolonghi, Nafpaktos, Greece Email: NSklavos(a)ieee.org Technical Co-Chairs Magda El-Zarki Dept. of Information and Computer Science University of California at Davis Irvine, CA, USA Email: elzarki(a)uci.edu Rahim Tafazolli Center for Communication System Research University of Surrey Guildford, Surrey, UK Email: R.Tafazolli(a)surrey.ac.uk PROGRAM COMMITTEE: * Ishfaq Ahmad, University of Texas at Arlington, USA * John Apostolopoulos, HP, USA * Pedro A.
