CALL FOR PAPERS
INTELLIGENCE-BASED ADAPTATION FOR UBIQUITOUS MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS

Special issue of the Journal of Network and Computer Applications

Adaptation in ubiquitous multimedia communications has, due to
dynamically changing
requirements and networking conditions, traditionally overlooked the
possibility of using
computational intelligence for its achievement. However, with the
advent of increasing
computational processing power, memory and availability of large
bandwidths provided by the
broadband and 4G networks of the future, intelligence-based adaptation
of ubiquitous multimedia
networks is fast becoming a realistic possibility.

This special issue solicits innovative papers on the use of
intelligence techniques and tools for the
adaptive management of the ubiquitous multimedia communication networks
of the future. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:

§ Intelligent integration of human-technical factors in ubiquitous
multimedia communications
§ Computational intelligence for personalization of multimedia content
§ Hybrid approaches for intelligent multimedia streaming in an
ubiquitous context
§ Intelligent techniques for user and media profiling
§ Location independent applications
§ Computational intelligence for user-adapted ubiquitous multimedia
systems
§ Context-aware adaptation and profiling
§ Intelligent Quality of Service management
§ Multimedia adaptation over next generation networks

All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Contributors should submit
mature, unpublished work in
camera-ready version following the journal's instructions for
authors, which are available at
http://authors.elsevier.com/GuideF [...] 3&dc=GFA#.

IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for authors to submit papers: March 28, 2005
Notification of review results: June 13, 2005
Deadline for final version of papers: August 22, 2005
Possible publication: late 2005/early 2006.
