The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers) Transactions on Communications announces a forthcoming
special section on "New Paradigm on Content Distribution and Sharing,"
to be published in October 2011.

[Overview]

High-speed network has been realizing rich multimedia services
including broadband audio and video contents. Coincidentally, novel
information distribution and sharing methods, such as content
distribution network (CDN), peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, grid
computing, and cloud computing, has been emerging and being used
extensively. On the other hand, we have also been faced with diverse
networks: future Internet, next generation networks (NGN), IP
multimedia subsystems (IMS), and wireless ad-hoc/sensor and mesh
networks. This special secsion is being planned (scheduled to appear
in the October 2011 issue) to discuss new paradigm on content
distribution and sharing. The submissions concerning new technique and
discovery for content distribution and sharing, new content
distribution methods on various types of network architecture, and
networking technology to support new content distribution and sharing,
are highly welcome.

[Scope]

This special section is aimed at timely dissemination of research in
these areas. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

* Content delivery
* Content distribution
* Content sharing
* Streaming technology
* Peer-to-peer (P2P)
* Overlay networking
* Content delivery network (CDN)
* Grid computing
* Cloud computing
* Traffic analysis
* Traffic control
* Load balancing
* Content distribution and sharing on next generation networks or future Internet
* Content distribution and sharing on wireless networks
* Networking technology considering content distribution and sharing
