Scope:
The phenomenal growth and success of the Internet has been due to both
technology enabling the applications and applications driving the
technologies. As part of this trend, multicasting has been an enabling
technology that plays an important role in the design, development, and
operation of many current and next generation applications and services
that rely on the efficient delivery of packets to multiple destinations.
Due to the advent of broadband, wireless and Web technologies, it is
becoming increasingly viable to design and implement large scale,
heterogeneous wireline and wireless networks that can support content
distribution, teleconferencing, media ^Mstreaming, distance learning,
collaborative workspace, and "push" oriented applications. These
technology advancements and applications and the convergence of computing,
communications, and information have opened up several challenging
problems and issues for both researchers and practitioners in area of
multicasting.
The goal of this special issue in IEEE Network Magazine is present to the
audience of the magazine (1) a comprehensive understanding of the design,
performance, and deployment issues and solutions of the various multicasting
technologies and (2) a consolidated view of ongoing research and development
in multicasting and to set future research directions. To achieve this goal,
this special issue seeks to survey, consolidate, and present the leading-edge
research, prototype development, deployment, and performance studies in
multicasting technologies. In particular, focused tutorial and survey
contributions are solicited on (but not restricted to) the following subject
categories related to multicasting:
IP Multicasting
Overlay Multicasting
QoS-aware Multicasting
Secure Multicasting
Content Distribution Networks
Distributed Sensor Networks
Multicasting in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
Multicasting in Peer-to-Peer Networks
Multicasting in Optical Networks
Managing group, traffic, and network dynamics
Prototype implementations and Performance studies
Deployment issues and pragmatic solutions
