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security for IP applications * Multimedia coding for IP transmission * Multimedia database over IP Original, previously-unpublished research articles will be considered.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.
