Call for Book Chapters Handbook of Multimedia Information Systems: Techniques and Applications To be published by Multimedia Systems and Applications, Springer (http://www.springer.com/series/6298) Editors: Dr. Amit Kumar Singh and Prof. Anand Mohan
Introduction Recently, multimedia stands as one of the most demanding and exciting aspects of the information era and every second a lot of multimedia information are created and transmitted all around the world through different unsecured networks. The multimedia information distribution through open channel using information and communication technology (ICT) is an indispensible and cost effective technique for dissemination and distribution of digital data/media files. However, the prevention of copyright violation, authenticity, confidentiality, ownership identification, and identity theft has been challenging issues due to attempts of malicious attacks or hacking of the open channel information. It includes criminal offence ranging from ownership identity theft to copyright violation and from personal information exposure to medical history disclosure is being made every day. However, research concluded that the authenticity of multimedia information/documents is strongly required in various emerging applications. Furthermore, multimedia processing is a multi-rate computing problem and requires low cast implementation of high volume markets, high computation rates, large memory bandwidth, which makes a challenging domain for potential researchers. Presently, Multimedia Information Systems (MIS) is to provide data management capabilities with media management. Therefore, to address these challenges has been an interesting problem for potential researchers in various emerging areas. The objective of this book is to attract highquality research work and reviews that seek to address recent development as well as relevant prospects on opportunities and challenges in multimedia security and processing for real-world applications. We invite all researchers and practitioners who are developing algorithms, systems, and applications, to share their results, ideas, and experiences. Besides the main topic covering all related multimedia security and applications. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Part –A: Multimedia Security Techniques •Multimedia Encryption •Biometrics •Multimedia Watermarking •Multimedia Forensics •Chaotic systems for multimedia •Cryptographic protocols against attacks •Electronic security •Intelligent Security Techniques for multimedia information/data Part –B: Multimedia Processing •Multimedia big data •Multimedia Compression •Soft computing Techniques for multimedia •Multimedia information retrieval and feature extraction •Real time multimedia processing
