Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the call for papers of the Hindawi International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, special issue on *IP and Broadcasting Systems Convergence.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for papers:

In order to achieve access and core network interworking and service
ubiquity within the vision of the Internet of the Future, IP arises as a
key element for the realization of a unified/fusion environment which
enables the convergence/synergy between traditional and emerging
technologies. In this context, IP can be also seen as the "gluing
factor" in the rapidly progressing convergence between the
technologically different sectors of /networking/ and /broadcasting/.
This convergence, witnessed both at technological and service levels, is
mainly empowered by the evolution of broadcasting standards (DVB, ISDB,
ATSC, CMMB) and the recent advances in IP networking.

In this way, a broadcasting platform is no longer restricted to
transmitting 'bouquets' of TV programs. The ability to include IP
services into the broadcast multiplex, along with the large coverage
area and the high bit rate capabilities, allows broadcasting systems to
constitute flexible broadband IP networking infrastructures,
complementing existing and emerging wireless access networks such as 3G,
WiMAX, and LTE. Conversely, the provision of broadcast TV services over
IP networks and over the Internet is further fading the borders between
the IP/networking and broadcast worlds.

The aim of this special issue is to attract state-of-the-art
contributions focusing on the convergence between the IP and
broadcasting systems, that is, the provision of IP services over
broadcasting platforms and vice versa; the streaming of A/V broadcasting
services over IP networks. Areas of interest include, but are not
limited to:

* Broadband IP access over DVB, ISDB, CMMB, ATSC, DMB, MediaFLO
* Satellite-based access networks
* IPv4/IPv6 encapsulation and transport
* Broadcast TV and radio over IP
* Security and quality of service
* Architectural and design aspects
* Interaction channel technologies
* Cross-layer optimization
* IP datacast issues and ESG
* IPTV over broadcasting systems
* Social television and novel services
* Business aspects and standardization activities
* Regulatory issues
* Digital dividend and exploitation for broadband IP access
