Elsevier Computer Communications Journal
Special Issue on Human-Centric Multimedia Networking
============================= CALL FOR PAPERS =============================

*** Submission deadline: September 15, 2012 ***

===========================================================================

In recent years real-time multimedia services have been contributing
extensively to our life experience and are expected to be among the
most important applications in the Future Internet. User demands for
multimedia access anywhere, anytime from any device are creating new
challenges for research communities from both academia and industry.
It is expected that multimedia services alone will account for 90
per-cent of all consumer network traffic in few years and we will
continue to witness the explosive growth in users sharing multimedia
content over future multimedia networks. In this context, novel
network, application, green, monitoring, measurement, optimization,
storage and user-based approaches must be created to deal with such
complex multimedia systems. The emphasis of the SI will be put on
discussion about state-of-the-art research and developing activities
contributing to all aspects of human centric multimedia networking.

This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions
addressing areas that include, but are not limited to the following:

- A  A Social multimedia networking
- A  A Future Internet architectures for human-centric multimedia networking
- A  A Emerging human-centric multimedia services and applications
(gaming, 3D video, surveillance, sensing)
- A  A Context awareness and human-computer confluence
- A  A Novel human-centric network management and provisioning
- A  A Human-centric multimedia search and retrieval
- A  A Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics and optimization
- A  A Ethical issues in multimedia surveillance and Internet monitoring
systems and algorithms for safeguarding of information
- A  A Human-centric models and systems

Tentative Schedule
