Call for Papers for a Special Issue on
High-Quality Multimedia Streaming in P2P Environments
of the International Journal of Advanced Media and
Communications http://www.inderscience.com/ijamc
Guest Editor:

----------------
Peer-to-peer (P2P) multimedia streaming systems have received significant
attention from academia and industry in the past few years. In these
systems, a client receives a requested multimedia stream from multiple
senders (peers), instead of relying on a dedicated streaming server.
Since receiving peers are also potential senders to other peers, the
system capacity grows and the reliance on the dedicated server diminishes
as more peers join. Thus, P2P streaming systems have the potential to
scale to large user communities in a cost-effective manner. However,
because of the limited capacity and unreliability of peers, mechanisms
are needed to efficiently manage the resources contributed by peers
and to adapt to the dynamic nature of the network. This special issue
of IJAMC is dedicated to address all research challenges related to
enabling the streaming of high-quality multimedia content in dynamic
P2P systems. Authors are invited to submit papers that have significant
research contributions to this special issue.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Algorithms to provide high-quality and reliability in P2P
streaming systems
* Peer-assisted content distribution networks
* P2P video-on-demand and live streaming
* Measurement studies of deployed P2P streaming systems
* Capacity modelling and analysis of P2P streaming systems
* Security and data integrity in of P2P streaming systems
* Applications of scalable video coding and network coding
in P2P streaming systems
* Incentive and economic issues of P2P streaming systems
Submitted manuscripts must be original work and not published and/or
submitted elsewhere, with the exception of extended version of previously
published conference papers, which are also accepted as long as they
are substantially extended in terms of technical contents. Authors of
such extended conference papers must specifically indicate to the guest
editor what part has been extended.
Submitting authors should follow the Submission Guidelines available
on IJAMC website http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31 except that:
1. There is no need to make it a blind paper. Do not remove author
names and affiliations from the main paper.
2. There is no need to send three separate documents: just one pdf.
3. If this is an extended conference paper, indicate in a separate
document what parts are extended and why they are substantial.
4. Do not submit the paper online. Rather, email your manuscript
(in PDF format) to Prof. Mohamed Hefeeda mhefeeda@cs.sfu.ca by
the deadline below.
