=================================================================<br>
Recent trends in multimedia networking techniques often put emphasis on<br>
futuristic issues. The current narrative is that a vast variety of devices<br>
would be connected for achieving specific goals by several technologies<br>
such as big data, cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Fog/Edge<br>
computing, Cloud Computing, and Wireless Sensor Networks. Multimedia<br>
Networks can also be more secure and intelligent by integrating some type<br>
of intelligence. Existing research works have uncovered a massive amount of<br>
threats and attacks, but they still need to uncover efficient ways to<br>
establish Intelligent Multimedia Networks (IMNs). INs can be applied on/in<br>
several network shapes like edge/Fog/Cloud/p2p networks and even<br>
sensor/mesh networks to increase the performance and throughput of such<br>
systems (i.e., Quality of services or QoS) as well as providing better<br>
Quality of Experience (QoE) to satisfy customers experiences with the<br>
provided services.<br>
<br>
<br>
There are several existing works to represent the privacy and security<br>
challenges in general cyberspace, however, this special issue (SI) focuses<br>
on current trends to develop intelligent approaches that face privacy and<br>
security challenges in emerging and futuristic multimedia networks. This SI<br>
aims to provide the researchers from both industry and academia a platform<br>
to discuss technical challenges and disseminate their recent advances<br>
related to INs. We are looking for innovative research works and novel<br>
findings in emerging fields in the networking area.<br>
<br>
<br>
Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:<br>
- Anomaly detection in IMNs<br>
- Privacy and Security of machine learning-based network algorithm<br>
- QoS and security support for IMNs protocols<br>
- IMNs support for Edge Computing<br>
- IMNs for IoT Applications<br>
- Deep Learning for IMNs<br>
- Network services and applications in IMNs<br>
- Performance evaluation of in IMNs<br>
- Cryptographic algorithm analysis for IMNs<br>
- Digital rights and digital forensic management in IMNs<br>
- Security of identification, communication and authentication in IMNs<br>
- Content provenance in IMNs<br>
- Scheduling and routing in IMNs<br>
- Learning and optimization algorithm in IMNs<br>
- Network monitoring and analytical modelling in IMNs<br>
- Scalability, reliability and performance of IMNs<br>
