Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia
“Multimedia: The Biggest Big Data”
SUMMARY
Multimedia is increasingly becoming the “biggest big data” as the most
important and valuable source for insights and information. It covers
from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world.
There will be lots of multimedia big data — surveillance video,
entertainment and social media, medical images, consumer images,
voice and video, to name a few, only if their volumes grow to the extent
that the traditional multimedia processing and analysis systems cannot
handle effectively. As such, multimedia big data will emerge as the next
“must have” competency in our society, and is spurring on tremendous
amounts of research and development of related technologies and applications.
As an active and inter-disciplinary research field, multimedia big
data also presents a great opportunity for multimedia computing in the big
data era. The challenges and opportunities highlighted in this field will
foster some interesting future developments in the multimedia research
and applications.
SCOPE
The goal of this special issue is to provide a premier forum for
researchers working on the aforementioned multimedia big
data aspects to present their recent research results. It also provides
an important opportunity for multidisciplinary works connecting big data
to multimedia computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
* New theory and models for multimedia big data computing
* Ultra-high efficiency compression, coding and transmission for multimedia big data
* Content analysis and mining for multimedia big data
* Semantic retrieval of multimedia big data
* Deep learning and cloud computing for multimedia big data
* Green computing for multimedia big data (e.g., high efficiency storage)
* Security and privacy in multimedia big data
* Interaction, access, visualization of multimedia big data
* Multimedia big data systems
* Novel and incentive applications of multimedia big data in various fields
(e.g., search, healthcare, transportation, and retail)

This time allotment will remain unchanged for the review of original
paper submissions. However, in order to expedite the review process,
the time allotted for evaluation of revised paper submissions will
be reduced to two weeks. We hope that the revised policy will
further reduce the time required for the evaluation of papers prior
to their publication, and thus increase the timeliness and impact
of papers published in CSVT.

special issue, list of topics, suggested timeline, and list of
guest editors; and (c) a short biography for each of the guest
editors. The proposal should include 3-5 guest editors who are
senior-level researchers on the topic of the proposed special
issue (e.g., full professor or equivalent research positions) and
have a diverse background (i.e., geographically, ethnically,
gender, expertise, industry/academia, etc.). Special issue
proposals should be sent to the editor-in-chief, Dan Schonfeld
<tcsvt-eic@tcad.polito.it>, and the deputy editor-in-chief,
