> SCOPE
> --------------------------------------
> The successful development of multimedia services and applications in mobile environments requires 
> adopting an interdisciplinary approach where both multimedia and networking issues are addressed jointly. 
> Multimedia data characteristics, coding standards functionalities, as well as network protocols 
> performance and channel behavior are some of the key aspects that need to be carefully examined when 
> proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that are going to be enabled by the new standards 
> for mobile networking, such as packet telephony, video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing, 
> interactive gaming, conversational navigation services, digital television, infomobility, and 
> immersive communications in virtual environments. Some of these novel networking protocols and 
> technologies include IEEE 802.11 (infrastructured, mesh, and sensor networks), 802.15, 802.16, UWB, 
> DVB-H, Bluetooth, Mobile IP and its variants.
> 
> Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers 
> working in multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards. 
> Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the 
> integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications.
