This special issue is dedicated to the exploration of how systems based on software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) can enhance multimedia distribution. Bringing together researchers from both the networking and multimedia research communities, this issue showcases emerging research and creates a discussion from diverse viewpoints regarding how the greater visibility, agility, and flexibility promised by NFV and SDN will enable innovative architectures for multimedia distribution, potentially transforming the entire delivery chain of multimedia content.

At a five-day seminar in Germany, 30 researchers came together to discuss the future of interactive media. Motivated by the third wave of virtual and augmented reality technologies, the goal was to take a step back from technical research to look at the fundamental aspects of interactive media. The seminar featured initial talks by all attendees; several breakout sessions; hands-on workshops on novel experience-sharing technologies; and panel discussions on human-computer symbiosis, human augmentation, and enabling technologies.

The multimedia research community has become increasingly proactive in trying to address the problems of people living in a world dominated by big (multimedia) data. Research has moved from user-agnostic problems to user-centric problems, and the quality of the offered solutions largely depends on the selected method, algorithm, and dataset. Here, however, Alan Hanjalic asks whether the community is as proactive when it comes to discussing if the selected approach is the right one? What are the guiding principles used to make this choice? Is there a philosophy underlying these principles? If so, how does it help optimize the mapping between the problems and proposed solutions? And what are the long-term implications of deploying the solutions in society?

To fully understand humans in multimedia and uncover new opportunities, a multimodality approach is necessary. Bridges must be built across sometimes disparate communities to catalyze new multimodal and cross-disciplinary research efforts. Progress in cognitive science, linguistics, and natural-language processing is fundamental for designing machines that can perceive the world as humans do.

Human-centered multimedia computing (HCMC) focuses on a tight engagement of humans in the design, development, and deployment of multimedia solutions. However, people's abilities change over time due to a variety of reasons, including age, context, and geographical location. To address this challenge, the authors recently introduced the concept of person-centered multimedia computing, where the emphasis is on understanding the individual user's preferences and expectations toward designing, developing, and deploying effective solutions. Today's multimedia technology is largely geared toward the "able" population; individuals with disabilities have largely been absent in the design process and thus must adapt themselves (often unsuccessfully) to available solutions. Further, individuals with disabilities have specific and individualized requirements that necessitate a person-centered, adaptive approach to multimedia computing. Here, the authors present the person-centered multimedia computing approach inspired by assistive and rehabilitative applications.
