Multimedia technology for pervasive computing environment

With the emerging multimedia techniques which can be used for various pervasive and ubiquitous applications such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, security and surveillance, there are a number of important challenges that arise when multimedia transmits in this kind of pervasive computing environments. This special issue is called for high-quality, up-to-date related multimedia technology for pervasive computing environment. In this special issue, we have accepted only nine high-quality papers. We expect that this special issue will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in multimedia technology for pervasive computing environment.
