Research on Multimedia Systems

Today, general users can enjoy a variety of multimedia content for free and for a fee, based on the development of the Internet, personal computers, smart devices, and small IoT devices, and the growth of social media platforms. Most people subscribe to social media platforms and share their content every day, and accordingly, large-capacity multimedia contents are growing exponentially. For the growth of multimedia in the future, advances in hardware and software technologies including the fields mentioned above and database and multimedia security technologies must be identified. In addition, there may be various issues related to multimedia, such as a problem of appropriately recommending content for personalization services according to personal interests. Another example of technical issues is how to bring the power of well-developed IoT networks to home networks to support multimedia applications. In this Special Issue, researchers and practitioners aim to share various developed ideas related to those. We request creative contributions related to multimedia, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Data systems management
• Multimedia streaming, interchange, and transmission
• Multimedia security, privacy, and right management
• Multimedia search and recommendations
• Multimedia retrieval and classification
• Multimedia home entertainment
• Social media computing
• Multimedia application
• Multimedia communications networks
• Network design and configuration for multimedia applications
