CALL FOR PAPERS 
           IEEE Transactions on Multimedia 
           Special Issue on: Multimedia over IP

  Multimedia -- an integrated and interactive presentation of speech, audio, 
  video, graphics, and text  --  have become the major theme in today's 
  information technology that merges practices of communication, computing, 
  and information processing into an interdisciplinary field. Today's IP-based
  data networks are absorbing those  multimedia services at a rapid pace -- 
  in Internet time -- and are enabling a whole new class of applications to 
  enhance productivity,  reduce costs,  and increase business agility. 
  Anticipating that the multimedia over IP will become emerging technologies 
  for the 21st century, this issue of TMM is devoted to  address the challenge
  of how to deliver multimedia applications over IP in a cost effective,
  ubiquitous and quality guaranteed manner.  The possible topics include,
  but are not limited to, the following:
     * Multimedia over IP systems and applications
     * Design and implementation of multimedia over IP
     * Multimedia over mobile IP
     * Resource allocation and QoS for multimedia over IP
     * Content-aware techniques for multimedia over IP
     * IP network-adaptive multimedia communication
     * Error resilience and control techniques over IP
     * Watermarking and security for IP applications
     * Multimedia coding for IP transmission
     * Multimedia database over IP
  Original, previously-unpublished research articles will be considered.
  Authors should follow the IEEE TMM manuscript format described in the
  Information for Authors, which can be found on the inside back cover
  of any issue of TMM. Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to
  the website: http://eivind.imm.dtu.dk/mmsptc.
