CFP - IEEE Communications Magazine - IP-Based TV Technologies, Services and
Multidisciplinary Applications
http://www.comsoc.org/commag/call-for-papers
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2012

**********************************
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.)
