Scope

Today with the fast developments in electronics industry and the amazing

growing of the potential customers, media are increasingly ubiquitous: more

and more people live in a world of Internet pop-ups and streaming

television, mobile phone texting and video clips, etc. The future trend of

media-aware contents available in anywhere and anytime is to be more smart

and interactive. Thus, the design of smart and interactive ubiquitous

multimedia devices (SIUMS) has drawn substantial attention from the research

community by considering the aspects of ubiquitous networking, ambient

intelligence, embedded multimedia systems, and smart environments. It is

intended to be a novel efficient and effective component for the Internet of

Things, and will greatly impact everyone’s life in every facet, including

entertainment, socialization, business, healthcare and education.

The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research

contributions that focus on networking and communication aspects for

enabling SIUMS. Contributions are invited from prospective authors with

interests in the indicated special issue topics and related areas of

application. All contributions should be high quality, original and

unpublished elsewhere or submitted for publication during the review period.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

? Networking technologies for interactive multimedia services

? Communication protocols in interactive multimedia sensor networks

? User-centric network communications for multimedia services

? Network and system architectures for SIUMS

? Sensor and RFID networking technologies for SIUMS

? Heterogeneous communications for media-aware network cloud and Internet of

Things

? Ubiquitous networking for interactive and smart healthcare

? Advanced multimedia communications protocols for interactive and smart

services

? Cross-layer design for interactive multimedia communications

? Wireless sensor networks for video surveillance
