Advances in Next Generation Mobile Multimedia (ANGMM) book series
http://www.iiwas.org/ismail/bookseries.html
Editor-in-Chief: Ismail Khalil Ibrahim, Johannes Kepler Uni. Linz, Austria Publisher: IGI Global (http://www.igi-pub.com) Next Submission Deadline: July 15th, 2007
********************* Overview ********************** The field of mobile computing and multimedia is expanding in an unprecedented pace. Indicators are the rapidly increasing penetration of the cellular phone market around the world, and the mobile computing market is growing nearly twice as fast as the desktop market. In addition, technological advancements have significantly enhanced the usability of mobile communication and computer devices.
From the first CT1 cordless telephones to today’s Iridium mobile
phones and laptops/PDAs with wireless Internet connection, mobile tools and utilities have made the life of many people at work and at home much easier and more comfortable. As a result, mobility and wireless connectivity are expected to play a dominant role in the future in all branches of economy. The addition of mobility to data communications systems has not only the potential to put the vision of “being always on” into practice, but has also enabled new generation of services, e.g., location-based services.
********************* Mission ********************* The primary goal of ANGMM is to provide researchers and academic communities around the world with the highest quality titles while reporting the state-of-the-art research results and scientific findings allowing students, developers, engineers, innovators, research strategists and IT-managers in this field to gain greater insight into next generation mobile multimedia as they relate to applications, management, and opportunities within any given construct.
********************* Scope ************************* I welcome you to consider submitting your proposal for an edited book, an authored book, or a handbook to this series on topics leveraging all aspects of mobile and multimedia computing: from underlying technologies to applications, theory to practice, and servers to networks to devices is precisely the ability to deploy and utilize modern technologies for the design, development and deployment of a content rich, user and business friendly, integrated network of autonomous, mobile applications and services.
********************* Coverage *************************** ANGMM will be releasing scores of high quality, original and comprehensive titles under three major categories; mobile computing, multimedia and mobile multimedia. It seeks to develop several types of publications: authored books, edited books, handbooks, etc., The coverage of these authoritative titles ranges from innovative topics to research findings to trends analysis on mobile multimedia and related theories, technologies, methods, applications, and services from all engineering, business and organizational perspectives.
