Special Issue on Ubiquitous Multimedia Services

Introduction Emerging ubiquitous multimedia services are expected to be available anytime, anywhere, and using different computing devices. Services such as audio/video streaming, digital libraries, on-line businesses, and live camera remote surveillance are widely deployed. Users will be able to access these services anytime, anywhere, and using any computing device in a pervasive way. Compared with traditional service systems, ubiquitous multimedia services are often constructed on new architectures, motivated by novel business models, and implemented by interconnected hardware or software. Additionally, privacy, security and ethical issues are becoming increasingly important topics in ubiquitous services. This special issue aims to expose the readership to the latest research results on ubiquitous multimedia services. It will include a number of related topics, demonstrate pioneer work in this field, investigate the novel solutions and discuss the future trends in this field.

Topics Submitted papers may focus on architecture construction, algorithm design or hardware implementation. Both review papers and technical papers are expected. The topics include but are not limited to:

Architectures of Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Solutions of Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Business model of Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Hardware implementation of Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Software design in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Quality-of-Service (QoS) in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Privacy protection in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Digital rights management in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Security in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Ethics in Ubiquitous Multimedia Services Other issues of Ubiquitous Multimedia Services
