Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (JVCI)
Special Issue on
"Multi-Camera Imaging, Coding and Innovative Display: Techniques and
Systems"
Manuscript Submission Deadline: July 1, 2009
http://ees.elsevier.com/jvci/
============================================================================
Recently, the importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has
been significantly increased. With its capability of offering richer
experience, 3D imaging systems are expected to replace traditional systems
in near future in many different areas of industry, business, education, and
entertainment. Especially, multi-camera imaging is a practical approach to
construct 3D imaging systems, since multi-view images or videos can provide
different views of the same scene, offering interactivity as well as 3D
perception. However, in spite of the advantages, there are various
challenges that should be overcome to deploy multi-camera imaging techniques
in practical visual communication systems.
All aspects of image processing systems should be redesigned to communicate
multi-view images efficiently: acquisition, representation, coding, and
display. First, the acquisition step requires the calibration of multiple
cameras and the post-processing procedure to compensate for various
discrepancies, such as illumination differences. Second, it is essential to
develop efficient tools to represent and compress multi-view images or
videos compactly, which require a huge amount of storage space and
transmission bandwidth in general. Third, innovative 3D display technologies
should be developed to enable viewers to experience full 3D parallax without
restrictions
The goal of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches
and technical solutions in the area of multi-camera imaging, coding, and 3D
display. The special issue will provide a convincing forum for researchers
and practitioners to present their latest research results.
Scope
The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to
multi-camera imaging, coding, and 3D display. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to
* Acquisition of multi-view and 3D images
* Calibration and synchronization of multiple cameras
* Depth estimation and view synthesis from multi-view images or videos
* Compact representation and compression of multi-view images or videos
* 3D representation tools: meshes, points, and voxels
* Error resilient multi-view video compression
* Design of 3DTV systems and free viewpoint TV systems
* Stereoscopic, auto-stereoscopic, and holographic display techniques
* Novel applications and constructions of multi-camera and 3D imaging
systems

CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021)
Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications
Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that
exhibit intermittent connectivity. In
general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the
following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i.
e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even
exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c)
asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics
can be results of various factors, including
sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning,
catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks.
Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be
expanded to a wide variety of areas.
Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space
communications, sensor networks for
ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing
communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate
information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery
networks to restore communications
following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and
inherent uncertainty about network conditions
make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture,
protocol designs, interoperability, security,
management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some
of these issues and further stimulate
activity in the research community.
The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-
art research contributions that address the
various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks,
architecture, and applications. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* Multicasting and broadcasting
* Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving
networks
* Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space
optical communications systems,
MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc,
sensor/actuator networks
* Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks
* Multimedia and web searching
* Hybrid DTN
* Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability
* Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space
optical, and acoustic
* Network architecture and design, including link technology and
node design
* Applications, testbeds, and implementations
* Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication
* User mobility support, naming, and addressing
* Protocols and overlay architecture
* Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency
* Economic models and feasibility
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr@ieee.org

July 23-24, 2009
C A L L F O R P A P E R S
===========================
The University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) Center for Coastal
Environmental Sensing Networks (CESN) is pleased to announce the second
conference on Coastal Environmental Sensing Networks (CESN ?09). This
two-day conference will be comprised of 3 panel sessions held in
conjunction with Coastal Zone ?09 (CZ ?09), a networking dinner, and
presentations, posters, and plenary talks at UMass Boston.
CESN ?09 will provide a forum to share state-of-the-art technology
capabilities and learn about informational needs related to
environmental sensing networks. Specific focus will be placed on
gathering, processing, and utilizing information from environmental
sensing networks to better manage the changing coastal environment. The
focus of CESN?09 is consistent with the ?Revolutionary Times: Catching
the Wave of Change? theme of CZ ?09 ( http://www.csc.noaa.gov/cz/); and
as such, Day 1 of CESN ?09 will take place on Thursday July 23, 2009 at
the CZ?09 conference (being held at The Boston Park Plaza Hotel &
Towers). At CZ ?09, a series of three Panel Sessions on Coastal
Environmental Sensing Networks will explore sensor network technology,
sensor applications, and policy and management-related information and
technology needs:
CESN ?09 Day One at CZ ?09
==========================
CESN PANEL I: SENSOR DEVICES, NETWORKS, CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE
-----------------------------------------------------------
This Panel Session will explore the applications of a variety of sensor
networks in coastal environments, will provide perspective on the
network development, deployment, cyberinfrastructure, and scientific
processing of data, and will link those perspectives to coastal
management and policy issues. The presentations will provide perspective
on the advantages and limitations of the networks they describe as well
as certain social, environmental, and economic issues on a variety of
scales (local to global). Panelists will discuss the range of expertise
that goes into developing networks and speak in depth about their
particular experiences in contributing to multidisciplinary research and
development efforts. The objective is to provide the audience with a
better understanding of the wireless sensor networks as new kinds of
scientific tools that can be applied to coastal management issues.
CESN PANEL II: SENSOR APPLICATIONS
----------------------------------
This Panel Session will explore the applications of sensors to problems
of social, environmental, and economic importance on personal, regional
and global scales. Successes as well as failures of sensor applications,
sensor applications within sensor networks, and unexpected applications
of sensors will be highlighted by panelists from academia, industry, and
government. The audience will gain a better understanding of a wide
range of sensor applications and benefit from some lessons learned about
applying new sensors to coastal environmental problems.
CESN PANEL III: Policy and management-related information and technology
needs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Panel Session will examine recent efforts to enhance resource
managers? ability to measure, monitor, and manage the ocean and coastal
resources. Panel presenters will address examples of using
sensor-derived information in management practices, including: 1)
Monitoring sound to manage protected areas of the marine environment; 2)
the use of in situ and remote sensing to manage state coastal resources;
and, 3) the employment of ground penetrating radar and marine seismic
equipment to determine long-term shoreline changes.

Video and peer-to-peer contents are both rapidly increasing Internet
bandwidth demands. Recent reports predict an ?exaflood? from advances
in video over the Internet, rich media content, and user-generated
content (UGC). Another trend is the continued popularity and growth of
peer-to-peer (P2P) content delivery. Many estimates say that P2P
accounts for most of the current Internet traffic, and that video
accounts for most of the growth in Internet traffic. New systems and
studies to optimize future P2P and video traffic can have a very high
impact on the future of the Internet.
In many cases, P2P traffic traverses long distances across core
networks and multiple Internet service provider (ISP) networks, even
though the content could have been retrieved from a much closer
location. Internet video is similar and often delivered from distant
servers via multiple, redundant, unicast streams. To address this,
there has been a spate of recent effort on systems, information
exchange, and control to enable efficient P2P and video content
distribution. New systems and protocols are needed to enable Internet
content to work in concert with the network to be delivered from the
best source or over the least congested links. Localized P2P traffic
may only traverse a few hops instead of ten or twenty; allowing a vast
decrease in core network bandwidth. Application-layer multicast
streaming and emerging new content delivery systems using P2P are also
being created and optimized for efficiency.
Promoting state-of-the-art contributions from different research and
industrial fields, directly involved or applicable in solving the
issues and obstacles of P2P networking and P2P video, is the scope of
this special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Network-aware P2P and source-aware P2P
Selecting P2P sources and P2P routing to account for network loading
P2P with network awareness and control
Localized P2P
Linkages between network providers and Internet services
Using standards for NGN, IMS, SIP, and so forth for P2P
P2P in Next-Generation Service Overlay Networks (NGSONs)
P2P Content Distribution Networks (CDNs)
P2P Video on Demand (VOD)
Systems for legitimizing P2P and controlling P2P content
Streaming P2P video systems and analyses
Application-layer multicast for P2P streaming with multiple trees,
meshes, data chunks, swarms, and so forth
P2P and video bandwidth usage; current trends and future growth
Distribution of user-generated content (UGC)
Use of local cache servers
P2P combined with server-based content distribution
Proactive network Provider Participation for P2P
