Due to the popularity of the Internet, we are
seeing more and more sophisticated techniques being developed
to support media applications in a distributed environment.
These applications include distributed image/audio/video retrieval
systems, distributed search engines, and distributed virtual
environments. In order for these applications to serve potentially
a large number of concurrent users while maintaining system
interactivity, we are also seeing more research effort on server
architectures and other supporting technologies, such as networking,
data delivery and data distribution. In this special issue,
we call for papers that present recent development on distributed
media technologies, distributed media server technologies, and
distributed media applications.
Topics:
In this special issue, we call for original papers that describe novel distributed media technologies and their applications. We are particularly interested in systems that are applicable for the Internet environment. Areas of interests include, but not limited to:
Media streaming, compression
and synchronization techniques
Media server architectures,
including multi-server and grid-based architectures
Network supports and QoS
for media data transmission
Distributed media databases
and multi-modal query processing
Distributed image / audio
/ video / graphics applications
Submission:
Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Information for Authors as published in any recent issue of the Transactions or
