Abstract
In recent years, the ubiquity of multimedia services along with the proliferation of mobile devices and the demand for new audio and video applications are changing the lifestyle of users. The multimedia era is allowing users to create, distribute, and access content in ubiquitous way and cost-effectively, while providers explore new ways to increase their revenues. The efficient delivery of real-time multimedia services over emerging diverse and heterogeneous systems is a challenging research goal. The interoperability of applications, transport and network protocols as well as the demand for improved Quality of Experience (QoE) create new challenges and opportunities for further research on novel communication protocols, architectures, and methods to efficiently support current and future multimedia networking systems. In 2010, the Third International Future Multimedia Networking (FMN 2010) workshop was organized in Krakow, Poland and achieved a success attracting numerous submissions from various countries. FMN 2010 produced a high quality peer reviewed technical programme with an acceptance rate at around 24% and addressed important aspects of future multimedia systems with a focus on QoE. Authors of selected papers from FMN 2010 were invited to submit extended versions of their papers in order to be considered for inclusion in this Special issue on Future Multimedia. Multimed Tools Appl (2012) 61:697–701 DOI 10.1007/s11042-012-1174-1
Highlights
These papers were peer-reviewed again and further revised by the authors
Meetecho has been designed to be fully compliant with the latest standard proposals coming from both the IETF and the 3GPP and can be considered as an outstanding example of a real-time application built around the SIP protocol
The paper ‘A Fuzzy Queue-aware Routing Approach for Wireless Mesh Networks’ presents a variation of the Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) routing protocol Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), to achieve Quality of Experience (QoE) requirements for multimedia applications. It is based on the dynamic choice of metrics and in a Fuzzy Link Cost (FLC) to determine the best routes for multimedia packets
