I EEE MultiMedia was one of the first research journals specifically dedicated to the multimedia research field. Over the past 20 years, it has inspired tens of thousands of researchers, professors, and students around the world. It has also helped initiate and shape some of the major research themes and events in the multimedia field, including digital libraries, content-based image retrieval,...

Almost any computer science, engineering, and business curriculum includes some basic courses on transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCI/IP) networking. Unfortunately, motivating students to learn TCP/IP network fundamentals can be difficult not only because students find the subject rather abstract when it is presented using a lecture format, but also because of very limited resou...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have become popular for certain applications and deployments for a variety of reasons, including fault tolerance, economics, and legal issues. It has therefore become reasonable for resource consuming and typically centralized applications like Voice over IP (VoIP) and, in general, realtime communication to adapt and exploit the benefits of P2P. Such a migration need...

The Internet has burgeoned into a worldwide information superhighway during the past few years, giving rise to a host of new applications and services. Among them, Voice over IP (VoIP) is the most prominent one. Beginning more as a frolic among computer enthusiasts, VoIP has set off a feeding frenzy in both the industrial and scientific communities and has the potential to radically change tele...

The proliferation of communications over networks based on Internet Protocol (IP) technology imposes ever growing challenges for Law Enforcement Agencies. This Aqsacom White Paper provides an introductory background on the issues behind lawful interception as applied to IP networks and their overlying applications, with emphasis on the dominant applications of E-mail and Voice-Over-IP (VOIP).

Despite fruitful studies on knowledge flow and interdisciplinarity, there are few investigations on knowledge flow in humanities and social sciences (HSS) and how knowledge from science and technology diffuses to HSS sub-disciplines. Based on Chinese and English articles in HSS, this study explored knowledge flow in China’s HSS with an analysis of Chinese and English publications from 1998 to 2...

The transition to next generation networks is often coupled with the vision of innovative services providing personalized and customisable services over an all-IP infrastructure. To enable a smooth transition, next generation all-IP networks need not only support more services but also support emergency services. The idea here is to provide a general emergency management framework addressing ex...

A growing number of studies suggest the brain's "default network" becomes engaged when individuals recall their personal past or simulate their future. Recent reports of heterogeneity within the network raise the possibility that these autobiographical processes comprised of multiple component processes, each supported by distinct functional-anatomic subsystems. We previously hypothesized that ...

Developing Green Building (GB) is one of the most effective measures to save energy and reduce carbon emissions in the world. To promote the development of green building, it is necessary to analyze driving factors and contribution through the analysis for relationship between regional economy and green building. Therefore, based on the system dynamic(SD) theory, this paper constructs the struc...

We consider quantum error-correcting subsystem codes whose gauge generators realize a translation-invariant, free-fermion-solvable spin model. In this setting, errors are suppressed by Hamiltonian terms the of code and exact spectrum eigenstates can be found via generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation. Such solutions characterized frustration graph Hamiltonian: vertices terms, which neighborin...
