TMMBD 2016 - Special Issue On Trust Management for Multimedia Big Data

With the rapid growth of Cyber Physical and Social Computing (CPSC) and cloud computing, huge volumes of multimedia data collected by various devices through different communication channels are being processed, analyzed and mined in order to support many promising services. However, analysis and mining of multimedia data introduce a number of issues related to its trust management, especially for multimedia big data. Privacy, security and trust in multimedia data perception, transmission, communications, fusion, mining, storage and usage attract special attentions. In particular, big volumes of multimedia data introduce special requirements on efficiency, availability and dependability of its trust management. Trust management for multimedia big data becomes a key issue that impacts the success of multimedia computing, communications and applications.
Existing solutions of trust management for multimedia big data are imperfect or incomprehensive. Multimedia big data brings additional challenges to trust management research with regard to the security and privacy of multimedia, the efficiency and accuracy of multimedia process and the dependability and quality of processing results.
This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss various aspects of trust management for multimedia big data, explore key theories, investigate technology enablers, develop significant applications and innovate new solutions for overcoming major challenges in this research area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
? Multimedia perturbation technologies
? Secure multimedia transmission
? Multimedia big data anonymization and fusion
? Multimedia provenance trust
? Secure multi-party computation for big multimedia
? Privacy-preserving multimedia fusion and analytics
? Multimedia source reliability estimation and assurance
? Trust management for big multimedia
? Verifiable multimedia computing
? Multimedia trust and reputation
? Privacy protection in CPSC multimedia
? Multimedia applications with trust management
? MapReduce for big multimedia
? Secure multimedia search and collection
? Multimedia security and privacy in cloud computing and social networking
