TOMM 2016 - Special Issue on Multimedia Big Data: Networking

ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communication and Applications (TOMM)
Special Issue on Multimedia Big Data: Networking
Multimedia, the biggest big data, including game media, social images, voices
and videos, medical images, to name just a few, continue to outstrip the
capacity of the traditional multimedia processing and analysis systems. For
handling this issue, researchers developed and presented many technologies and
applications to connect big data to multimedia processing, which plays an
important fields in existing multimedia computing. Further, in real-time
required scenarios, such as cloud game systems, have strict delay limitation in
interaction, multimedia data processing needs much higher performance
networking support. However, networking for multimedia big data processing,
communications and applications have attached less attention so far. Even
though the size of multimedia big data increased rapidly in recent years, the
fundamental networking technologies are hard to afford the requirements of more
and more complex processing and analysis. Further, in real-time required
scenarios, such as cloud game systems, have strict delay limitation in
interaction, multimedia data processing needs much higher performance
networking support. New networking technology, also brings a new possibility of
the multimedia systems, e.g. processing and analyzing more and more multimedia
data brought by smartphones in developing mobile networks have become a very
important field in multimedia big data computing. Therefore, since networking
plays an essential role in multimedia big data computing, there is a critical
need for research into a new concept, designs and implementation that can
support more reliable, efficient and real time multimedia big data computing,
communications and applications.
The goal of this special issue is to seek original articles examining the state
of the art, open challenging research issues, new research results and
solutions in networking issues in multimedia big data computing, processing and
analytics. All submissions should contain substantial tutorial contents and be
accessible to a general audience of researchers and practitioners. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
? Network architecture design for Multimedia Big Data
? Networking for large scale video game system
? Next generation network for Multimedia Big Data
? Data center network for Multimedia Big Data computing
? Network for Multimedia Big Data
? Networking for real time multimedia processing
? UHD Multimedia streaming
? Network modelling for Multimedia Big Data
? Distributed systems for Multimedia Big Data
? Parallel and distributed algorithms for Multimedia Big Data
? Data migration and backup for Multimedia Big Data
? Data synchronization for Multimedia Big Data
? Real-time protocols for multimedia Big Data
? Multicast and group communication for multimedia Big Data
? Network performance analysis in Multimedia Big Data
? QoE in Networking for Multimedia Big Data

Submission Instructions
---
Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance
and contributions, as well as their suitability to the special issue. The
submitted papers must be written in excellent English and describe original
research that has not been published nor currently under review by other
venues. Previously published conference papers should be clearly identified by
the authors at the submission stage and an explanation should be provided about
how such papers have been extended to be considered for this special issue.
Extended conference contributions must have at least 50% difference from the
original works (the authors must indicate the conference name and make a
reference to the base conference paper). Guest editors will make an initial
determination on the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that
either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of
the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly
informed in such cases.
The submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers.
Final acceptance will be based on their qualities and their relevance to the
theme of this special issue and should be approved by the journal editors.
Manuscripts must be prepared for publication according to the journal’s Author
Guidelines available at: http://tomm.acm.org/. Submissions must conform to the
layout, format and page limit in the guidelines. The authors must select “SI:
Networking-BigData” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission
process.
