>> A book edited by Dr. George Ghinea and Dr. Sherry Y. Chen, Brunel 
>> University, UK
>> Introduction
>> Multimedia is an interdisciplinary, application-oriented technology 
>> that capitalises on the multi-sensory nature of humans and the 
>> ability of computers to store, manipulate and convey non-numerical 
>> information such as video, graphics, and audio in addition to 
>> numerical and textual information. Multimedia has the intrinsic goal 
>> of improving the effectiveness of computer-to-human interaction and, 
>> ultimately, of human-to-human communication.
>>
>> Whilst the HCI community looks predominantly at the application layer 
>> and the telecommunications community at the lower end of the ISO OSI 
>> stack, little work has been published in bridging the gap between 
>> these two communities. Indeed, the human element is often neglected 
>> in Quality of Service negotiation protocols. Not only does this have 
>> a negative and undesirable impact on the user> '> s experience of 
>> multimedia, it also discards the potential for more economical 
>> resource allocation strategies. With the proliferation of ubiquitous 
>> multimedia in predominantly bandwidth-constrained environments, more 
>> research is needed towards integrating and mapping perceptual 
>> considerations across the protocol stack and building truly 
>> end-to-end multimedia communication solutions.
>>
>> The Overall Objective of the Book
>> The proposed book aims to provide a comprehensive review of 
>> state-of-the-art in the area of perception-based multimedia design, 
>> covering both theories and applications in areas such as virtual 
>> reality, multi-sensory based computing, ubiquitous communications, 
>> personalization and adaptation according to user perceptual needs. 
>> The book will cover many issues in the field, providing insight into 
>> analytical and architectural aspects of perception-based multimedia 
>> systems, as well as applications in real world settings.
>>
>> The Target Audience
>> The book will be useful to professionals and academic researchers 
>> working in various areas, such as multimedia telecommunications, 
>> web-based technologies, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, 
>> content infrastructure, customisation and personalization. Moreover, 
>> it will provide a source of reference and a guide for students 
>> working on relevant projects.
>>
>> Topics of interest may focus on, but are not restricted to:
>>       *       The influence of task, context and device on perceived 
>> multimedia quality
>>       *       Perceptual and emotional impact of varying multimedia 
>> quality
>>       *       Integrating haptics and olfaction in multimedia systems
>>       *       Physiological and visual monitoring of human indicators 
>> in multimedia systems
>>       *       The impact of cognitive styles and strategies on 
>> multimedia perception
>>       *       Perceptual requirements of virtual reality systems
>>       *       Adaptation and Personalisation of multimedia content 
>> according to perceptual needs
>>       *       Perceptual multimedia communications in ubiquitous 
>> environments
>>       *       End-to-end communication architectures incorporating 
>> perceptual requirements
>>
>> Submission Procedure
>> Researchers and practitioners are invited to send on or before 
>> January 3, 2005, a completed author form with a 600-800 word 
>> manuscript proposal organized in sections as follows: aim, main 
>> methodology, results, and significance of the contribution. Authors 
>> of accepted proposals will be notified by January 17, 2005 about the 
>> status of their proposals and be sent chapter organizational 
>> guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 14, 
>> 2005. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a blind review 
>> basis. The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., 
>> www.idea-group.com, publisher of the > "> Idea Group Publishing,> ">  
>> > "> Information Science Publishing,> ">  and > "> IRM Press> ">  
>> imprints. Inquiries and submissions can be forwarded > electronically 
>> (MS-Word document format or RTF) to the editors.
