Special Issue on Wireless Multimedia Networks and Security Services

Wireless multimedia networks (WMN) allow people to access rich
multimedia content anytime, anywhere, using different
access networks and different computing devices. It is anticipated
that wireless multimedia services (WMS) will change the
way we operate and interact with the world with the development of
numerous interesting wireless multimedia applications.
The new possibilities of wireless multimedia computing pose several
research challenges. One of the challenges is security
issue in WMN. Therefore, in WMNs, not only novel techniques,
algorithms, architectures and experiences regarding
multimedia applications but also security services should be
considered. This special issue will focus on the challenges and
issues related to wireless multimedia networks and the security
services. Thus, it aims high-quality original unpublished
research articles that describe state-of-the-art approaches and
solutions for the wireless multimedia networks and their security.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the following:

- Multimedia indexing, processing and retrieval for WMN
- Data mining applications in WMN
- Content-aware multimedia distribution in WMN
- Multimedia multicasting in WMN
- QoS management in WMS
- Multimedia and multimodal interaction models in WMN
- Novel wireless and mobile multimedia applications and services
- Emerging standards, protocols and technologies in WMN
- Security, privacy, and cryptographic algorithms in WMN
- Network security issues and protocols in WMN
- Authentication, identity management in WMN
- Intrusion detection and prevention in WMN
- Content protection and digital rights management for WMS
- Trusted computing in WMS
- Information hiding and watermarking in WMS
- Network forensics and fraud detection for WMS

Extended versions of the selected best papers at the WIMUCS 2009
are invited to submit to this special issue. The extended
version of paper must have at least 30% fresh matter than the
previous paper. Besides, high-quality original unpublished
research articles, not currently under review to another
journal or conference are also invited for this special issue.
