Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946197/grouphome/home.html Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Management in Cloud Environment Introduction In cloud computing environment, various innovative multimedia (text, image, audio, video, graph, etc.) services appear. For example, users may work on one document or drawing together over Internet, users can push their complicated computing tasks to cloud servers, and users can forward their multimedia content (e.g., TV program) to cloud servers with the aim of obtaining the analyzed result (e.g., a short summarization). To support these services, various computing or management techniques are required, e.g., multimedia processing, coding, communication, storage and access. Additionally, in cloud computing, security and privacy become very important issues, e.g., user authentication and authorization, information exchange between clients and cloud servers, privacy protection of user-uploaded content, etc. This special issue aims to collect the best papers contributed by leading experts, and expose the readership to the latest research results on multimedia computing and management in cloud computing environment. It will include a number of related topics, demonstrate pioneer work, investigate the novel solutions and discuss the future trends in this field. Topics Submitted papers may focus on theoretical model, architecture construction, algorithm design or hardware implementation. Both review papers and technical papers are expected. The topics include but are not limited to Resource allocation in cloud computing Task management in cloud computing Cloud computing platform and system Multimedia coding for cloud based applications Multimedia processing in cloud environment Multimedia communication in cloud environment Multimedia content management in cloud environment Multimedia storage and access in cloud platforms Multimedia service and system in cloud environment Multimedia security and protection in cloud computing User authentication/authorization in cloud computing Secure communication in cloud computing Copyright protection and tracing in cloud computing Privacy preservation in cloud computing Submission The submitted papers should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946197/grouphome/home.html. All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the online submission system: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117946197/grouphome/home.html, by selecting the corresponding special issue. All papers will be rigorously reviewed based on their originality, high scientific quality, organization, clarity of writing, and support provided for assertions and conclusion.
