CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special Issue on Adaptive Media Streaming |
Submission Deadline: April 1, 2013 |
Recently, traditional TV services, Internet TV and mobile streaming services have started converging, and it is expected that this convergence trend will continue with other services. |
See the blog of the organizer.
Additionally, new emerging multimedia services are being introduced.
Additionally, standards developing organizations (SDOs) such as MPEG have developed various technologies for multimedia transport and encapsulation, e.g., MPEG2-TS (Transport Stream) and MPEG4 file format. These technologies have been widely adopted and are heavily deployed by various providers and in different applications and services, such as digital broadcasting, audio and video transport over he Internet and streaming to mobile phones, etc. At the same time, many other SDOs such as the IETF, IEEE, and 3GPP have provided various protocols to deliver multimedia content packetized or packaged by such MPEG transport technologies.
This special issue solicits novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of Adaptive Streaming of Multimedia. The main objectives of this special issue are (but not limited to): - Efficient delivery of multimedia content in an adaptive, progressive download/streaming - Support for streaming of live multimedia, to mobile users, low-capacity channels, bandwidth - Efficient and ease of use of existing content distribution - Efficient content generation (encoding) techniques for content - Detailed performance analyses of deployed standard technologies or - Measurement techniques for collecting consumption data (both - The effects of adaptation techniques on the end-user quality of - Viewer experiences from large-scale experiments and events (such as Olympics, World Cup, etc.).
