             IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications 

                   RECENT ADVANCES IN WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA

   Research and development efforts in mobile and wireless networking are
   progressing at an astounding pace. The next generation "killer
   applications" are touted to be multimedia based. Supporting multimedia
   applications and services over wireless networks is challenging due to
   constraints and heterogeneities such as limited battery power,
   high-rate limited bandwidth, randomly time-warying network
   interference, different protocols and standards, stringent quality of
   service (QoS) requirements, etc. Recent advances in wireless
   multimedia research seem to be focused on adaptively optimizing and
   trading-off the available resources based on the multimedia content
   and type of wireless network. The focus of this issue is to present
   state-of-the-art research in wireless multimedia processing and
   networking. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics including,
   but not limited to:

     * Cross protocol layer optimizations
     * Error-resilience techniques
     * Internetworking
     * Joint source-channel coding and multiple description coding
     * "Killer" wireless multimedia applications
     * Low power algorithms and protocols
     * Mobility in multimedia
     * Multimedia over next generation wireless networks
     * Multimedia over wireless ad hoc networks
     * Multimedia over wireless peer-to-peer networks
     * Space-time coding for multimedia
     * Standards co-existence
     * Wireless media streaming
     * Wireless multimedia security

   Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered.
   Authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in
   Information for Authors. Prospective authors should submit a pdf
   version of their complete manuscript (which should be compressed if
   the file size exceeds 1 Mbye) according to the following timetable.
   Web based submission at
   http://www.ece.stevens-tech.edu/~msync/cfp/cfp.html is strongly
   encouraged. If authors experience difficulty in web submission, the
   manuscript can be sent via email to Rajarathnam Chandramouli.
