CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine - IP-Based TV Technologies,
Services and Multidisciplinary Applications
http://www.comsoc.org/commag/call-for-papers
**********************************************************************************************
The move to Internet Protocol (IP) based television services has
challenged the traditional television value chain by allowing the
Internet, wired and wireless, private and public, to deliver
high-quality television content. In this new paradigm for content
consumption, television content is expected to play a disruptive role
in the next few years. As a result, TV convergence is becoming a
popular topic for networking and user experience research because it
provides a significant challenge for both the next generation networks
as well as for the future viewing ecosystem, Significant questions
need to be answered: from how to manage content delivery networks,
protect commercial and personal content and to design efficient
distribution architectures, to how to enhance visual perception and
Quality of Experience.
The papers in this featured topic will focus on the recent changes in
the Internet as the new television delivery medium and how these
changes will reshape the IP-based television of the future. The
special issue will focus on recent research and deployment in various
aspects of today's IP-based TV technologies, services and
applications. The targeted audience combines researchers and
developers in the end-to-end delivery of converged TV services and
applications, video system engineers, and strategic business managers
who need to know "what is next" in terms of video and television
services and applications.
The guest editors solicit papers, from both academia and industry,
covering topics of interest that include, but are not limited to:
* Next generation converged TV architecture and performance -
especially those combining heterogeneous networks and platforms
* Quality of Experience in social TV systems and applications over
mobile and converged networks
* Performance of novel approaches to TV network design including
wireless Internet TV
* Analysis and simulation of TV services over heterogeneous networks
* Performance of novel content protection especially for
Peer-to-Peer and community TV viewing
* End-to-End TV Quality of Experience including monitoring,
measuring and user behavior
* Content modeling and metadata for next generation converged TV
* Video convergence, Mobile TV, Mobile Social TV applications and
interactivity
* Interactive end-to-end IP-based TV applications
* IP-based TV application models (in particular for social
interaction, shared experiences and metrics)
* Field trials and user studies of IP-based TV applications
* Scalable compression, network coding, congestion control, rate
control of IP-based TV content
* Cross-layer dynamic adaptation and end-to-end Quality of Service
issues for heterogeneous IP-based TV networks
* Video Content Distribution, Networks and P2P architectures for
distributed TV applications
* Innovative methods for evolving IP-based TV applications
(including aspects of computer networking oriented to billing, pricing
and advertising models, large-scale data management, etc.)
