Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be defined as the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure. Typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and cover a variety of protocols, domains, and applications. The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects) is expected to usher in automation covering all major engineering fields, while also enabling advanced applications such as Smart Grid and Smart Surveillance.
MPEG has already started to investigate standardization activities to define network protocols for the Internet of Things (e.g., how to connect things). The variety and heterogeneity of "Things" make it difficult to standardize descriptions, data formats, and APIs, in a global manner; however, when the environment is well established, this can be done. Therefore, MPEG is exploring representations of multimedia things as part of complex distributed systems implying interactions between things and between humans and things. The multimedia data type elements are corresponding to descriptions of devices and messages for “talking to” and “adapting to” either devices or services in the Internet of Things.
The Multimedia Internet of Things (IoT) is the collection of interfaces, protocols, and associated multimedia-related information representations that enable advanced services and applications based on human to device and device to device interaction in physical and virtual environments. Information refers to data sensed and processed by a device and/or communicated to a human or another device.
Original contributions showing practical approaches are also welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Service and system architectures of multimedia-based IoT
- Interfaces, protocols, and associated multimedia-related information representations in IoT
- Fast and complexity-awareness algorithms for real-time multimedia computing in IoT
- Low complexity audio/video encoding in mm-IoT
- Controlling quality over complexity for each individual Media Thing
- Real-time, ultra-high quality media compression and storing scheme in IoT
- The design of hardware structure for low-power, real-time, multimedia-centric IoT service
- Synchronization technique for video and audio for IoT services
- Security scheme of video/audio signals for protecting personal information in mm-IoT
- Structure of camera network management
- Distributed system for smart applications in IoT
- Architectural performance evaluation of system
- Multimedia crowd flow analysis in mm-IoT
- Big data analysis technique on mm-IoT

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
