Aims and Scope: Mobile Multimedia refers to the multimedia information exchange over wireless networks or wireless Internet. The popularity and evolution of mobile computing devices, together with fast, affordable mobile networks, have made it possible to increase the range and complexity of mobile multimedia applications and services provided to end-users of these kinds of equipments. In the core of this revolution is the astonishing growth in the number, types, novelty, and complexity of mobile multimedia applications and services.

The Journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM) aims to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas and information by researchers, students, and professionals on the issues and challenges brought by the emerging multimedia technologies for mobile multimedia applications and services, and the control and management of such networks to support multimedia applications.

The journal is devoted to the publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in mobile multimedia. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and technical notes are invited for publications. While JMM covers a broad range of topics, we are soliciting papers that provide a perspective on all aspects of mobile multimedia, including, but not be limited to:

-         Mobile Multimedia Applications & Services
-         Communication and Cooperation through Mobile Multimedia
 -         Mobile Multimedia Software Architectures
 -         Wireless & Mobile Multimedia Network Management
 -         Mobile Multimedia Network Traffic Engineering & Optimization
 -         Enabling Infrastructures for Mobile Multimedia
 -         Regulatory and Societal Issues of Mobile Multimedia
 -         Mobile Multimedia Markets & Business Models
-         Provisioning of Mobile Multimedia Services
-         Personalization, Privacy and Security in Mobile Multimedia
-         Pervasive and Ubiquitous Multimedia Computing
-         Mobile Virtual and Augmented Reality

Journal of Mobile Multimedia

Special Issue: Cloud Computing

http://www.rintonpress.com/journals/jmmonline.html

Issued on September 30th, 2012

Cloud computing is a promising paradigm for the provisioning of IT services. Cloud computing infrastructures aim to facilitate the seamless deployment, management and execution of services on a top of possibility heterogeneous and distributed hardware and software infrastructures such as networked datacenters.

Computing Clouds provide the ability to lease computational resources at short notice, on either a subscription or pay-per-use model and without the need for any capital expenditure into hardware or software for the customers. They could therefore concentrate on developing innovating services without worrying about the allocation of the resources to support them. The main advantage of Clouds providers is their capability to provide the illusion of unlimited and immediate provisioning of resources to the subscriber while at the same time providing acceptable pricing schemas.

However, to provide such flexibility in managing the resources, many facets of systems and data management issues should be revised. Many challenging issues with respect to architectures, resources provisioning, scalability, monitoring, security, privacy, resiliency and maintainability need to be addressed.

The journal of Mobile Multimedia (JMM) is soliciting original submissions, for a special issue on Cloud Computing, that illustrate research results, projects, and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the field. Relevant research topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Cloud computing architectures, protocols and API
  • Cloud Federation and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
  • Design Tool for Cloud Computing
  • Critical infrastructure for Clouds
  • Mobile multimedia and cloud computing
  • Security and Privacy in Clouds
  • Quality of service and cloud computing
  • Cloud computing scalability
  • Migration into clouds
  • Resource provisioning and management in clouds
  • Domain-specific clouds
  • Economic and Business Models for Cloud Computing
  • Energy management in Clouds
  • Monitoring, Management and Maintenance of Clouds
  • Industrial cloud test-beds and benchmarking
  • Design, implementation and performance evaluation for cloud applications

Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this Issue.

The manuscripts should be prepared in standard IEEE 2-column format and submitted to any of the guest editors by November 30th, 2012, through email (e-mail addresses see below)

Important Dates:-

Submission deadline : November 30th, 2012
