CFP: MTAP Special Issue on “Multimedia in Social Mobile Computing”
due: Feb. 12, 2016
The special issue on Multimedia in Social Mobile Computing (MSMC) aims at presenting and
discussing cross-disciplinary researches between multimedia technologies and social mobile
computing.
In the research community, increasing attention has been given to the growing and pervasive use of
mobile devices (e.g. Smartphone, PDA, GPS navigation and laptops) and wireless technology, and
mobile computing is experiencing a new phase of innovation.
Always more frequently multimedia data and content are spreading over the network of mobile
technologies. The volume of available multimedia data accessible from mobile devices increases
ever more over the years, and new challenges in data management, situation-awareness,
personalization, privacy, and security is emerging.
That variety of multimedia data recorded enables new applications across diverse research domains
comprising mobile media analysis, mobile social networks and mobile human-computer interaction.
Moreover, increasing attention has been paid to the usage of mobile technologies that allow users
interacting with collaborative multimedia systems using devices interconnected through an ad-hoc
network. This attention hails from the growing need of systems supporting coordination,
communication and shared production between and within groups.
In this direction, social networks and content-sharing sites are increasingly emerging as platforms
that facilitate the creation and sharing of multimedia content supporting also new types of
interaction. The growth of social multimedia systems stimulates researches on social computing that
investigate new issues and challenges in modelling, analyzing and effectively interacting with social
media.
That is why the topic of social multimedia computing is attracting significant interest from
researchers in multimedia computing and social sciences, as well as web and mobile entrepreneurs,
software and mobile app vendors.

IEEE Trans. on Multimedia SI on Multimedia based Healthcare
Due: Jan. 15, 2016
Special Issue on Multimedia-based Healthcare
Summary:
Computerized healthcare is emerging as a multidisciplinary area with fast
development which is accelerating rapidly by the increasing technological
capabilities and growing desire to enhance medical service and healthcare.
The advances in multimedia computing stimulate smart healthcare to a new
era by offering better insight of complex health related multimedia content
to support decision making for effective healthcare. However, it remains
a challenging task and is highly desired to develop new and powerful
multimedia computing methods to embrace diverse health information with a
general framework to facilitate data representation, storage, analysis and
integration for healthcare applications with consistency, objectiveness
scalability and cost-effectiveness.
This special issue aims to provide a central forum for researchers with
different background and from the diverse fields of engineering, computing,
medicine and health science to present the latest findings and the
state-of-art methodologies for the cross-area research on computerized
healthcare, which includes not only the fundamental issues on data analytics
in the rich context of health related multimedia data, but also the crucial
components such as health data representation, management, analysis,
classification, bioinformatics, machine learning, ubiquitous computing and
network technologies. The goal of this special issue is to foster the
state-of-art research findings, methodologies, technologies and services
on a general platform of multimedia computing for diverse cross area
healthcare applications with the insight into the current advances,
challenges and trends. Its coverage and impact is beyond the conventional
medical imaging by providing more comprehensive health related content on
the aspects of diversity, complexity and generalization.
Scope:
The topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
* Computer-aided diagnosis and monitoring by multimedia biosignal integration
