Call for Papers Special Issue
on “IoT
Multimedia Applications and Services” [1175] |
Intelligent
multimedia applications and services attract a wide range of users, and are
classified as interactive or distribution services. The Internet of Things
(IoT) is an integral part of realizing concept of the hyper-connectivity of
everything in multimedia services, which is driving huge growth in multimedia
traffic on the global internet network. Specifically, IoT-based multimedia
services such as real-time content delivery, online games, video conferencing,
etc. in real-time applications have contributed to the exponential growth of internet
multimedia traffic. IoT-based multimedia and security services have received
less attention so far and have emerged as a new research paradigm for future
applications and services.
In our daily
activities, the evaluation of multimedia applications based on IoT is becoming
more and more important. Existing assessment models are based on Quality of
Service (QoS), but recent efforts are moving towards Quality of Experience
(QoE), which aims to assess how end users subjectively perceive the quality of
an application or service. However, current research and development activities
in the field do not make the characteristics of multimedia objects mandatory,
thus leaving space to benefit from services and applications based on
multimedia content. It creates opportunities for further research and advances,
particularly with regard to prioritization of video traffic, virtualization of
network elements, mobility and security in order to assess how end users
subjectively perceive the quality of an application or service.
The objective
of this special issue is to promote research and to reflect the latest advances
and research focused on IoT multimedia applications and services by focusing on
the aspects below.
Topics of interest include but are not limited
to:
·
Deep learning in IoT-based multimedia applications
·
Federated and reinforcement learning in multimedia data
·
Software-defined networking in multimedia services
·
Communication network and protocols in IoT-based
multimedia applications
·
Security and privacy in Industry 4.0 multimedia
applications
·
Blockchain in multimedia applications and services
·
Social media security and privacy
·
Information fusion in multimedia applications and
services
·
Edge computing in IoT-based multimedia applications
·
Big data analytics in multimedia data
·
Intelligent multimedia services for 5G enabled IoT
·
Service model and applications for new IoT-based
multimedia computing
