[Tccc] CFP: Special issue on Multimedia Networking and Security in Convergent Networks (Computer Communications)

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Computer Communications on
Multimedia Networking and Security in Convergent Networks

http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom

Scope:
Authors are invited to submit detailed technical manuscripts reporting
recent developments in the topics related to the special issue. Note
the special emphasis on convergent and heterogeneous networks – this
special issue is devoted to exploring the challenges and solutions for
multimedia communication and security in convergent network
environments. The new challenge in network management is to deal with
heterogeneous client capabilities as well as dynamic end-to-end
resources availability, and to ensure satisfactory service quality for
every client. The new challenge in secure communication is to solve
the privacy and security issues becoming increasingly important topics
in network convergence. Some suggested topics include but are not
limited to:

Heterogeneous multimedia networking;
Cross-layer multimedia adaptation;
Inter-network multimedia adaptation;
QoS control in network convergence;
Interactive Mobile TV based on network convergence;
Mobile community based on network convergence;
Smart home networks based on network convergence;
Telematics systems based on network convergence;
E-healthcare systems based on network convergence;
Privacy preserving in network convergence;
Multimedia content security in network convergence;
Digital rights management in network convergence;
Content tracking and filtering in network convergence;
Intrusion detection and prevention in network convergence;
Other networking or security issues in network convergence.
