*Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication*
Background
Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications
related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services.
Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the
dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular
telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media
hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share
multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and
camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate
multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or
modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a
major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed
during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of
multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have
also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend
is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and
slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special
issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication,
networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers
that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia
communications more energy-efficient.
Scope
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data
transmission
- Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures
- Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia
processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission,
and reception
- Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and
retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems
- System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia
communication
- Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices
- Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia
communication
Manuscript Submission
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an
ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to
publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles
should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside
the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for
Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and
Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/. Please submit
