Special issue on UIT (Ubiquitous Information Technology) for multimedia systems

摘要

Ubiquitous Information Technology (UIT) has rapidly emerged as a new computing paradigm and it covers the topics of seamless, secure, visible, and intuitive access to provide computing and communication services at anytime and anywhere. There are many issues to stably provide UIT services and much effort and enormous attention have been focused on the UIT environments. The UIT research area poses challenges such as context information, security, reliability, autonomous and intelligent networking, digital and multimedia systems, and so on. The UIT offers an unprecedented opportunity for various modern multimedia applications and systems under convergence of multimedia technology and multimedia visualization. Its main purpose is to solve the various problems of advanced digital and multimedia processing using the convergence of state-of-the-art computer science technology.
