Thanks to IEEE MultiMedia’s Reviewers Many colleagues have assisted the IEEE MultiMedia Editorial Board in the article review and selection process. By offering their time and talent, reviewers provide a valuable service to this publication. The Editors in Chief realize that this type of professional service, while absolutely necessary, doesn’t receive the much-deserved recognition. Whereas reviewers’ efforts on individual articles are performed under the cover of confidentiality, we thank them all here publicly for their efforts during 2005. —Forouzan Golshani, Editor in Chief, 2005 —Sethuraman Panchanathan, Editor in Chief, 2006 Frederic Andres, National Institute of Informatics Paul Aoki, Palo Alto Research Center Liliana Ardissono, University of Torino Oscar Au, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Ramazan Aygun, University of Alabama in Huntsville Petr Baxant, Brno University of Technology Paolo Bellavista, University of Bologna Ana Benitez, Thomson Corporate Research Jean-Angelo Beraldin, National Research Council of Canada Marco Bertini, University of Florence Elisa Bertino, Purdue University David Birchfield, Arizona State University John Black, Arizona State University Cornelia Boldyreff, University of Lincoln Susanne Boll, University of Oldenberg Pierre Boulanger, University of Alberta Ian Burnett, University of Wollongong Mario Cannataro, University of Catanzaro Lei Cao, University of Mississippi Marc Cavazza, University of Teesside Chao-Chun Chen, National Cheng Kung University Corey Cheng, Dolby Laboratories Research Division Hung-Yu Chien, Chao Yang University of Technology Ronald Chung, University of Hong Kong Reuven Cohen, Technion Perry R.
