concepts, applications, and services in mobile and ubiquitous  
multimedia, ranging from ethnographic research and case studies to  
field trials and usability evaluations.



-          ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES for novel mobile and ubiquitous  
multimedia applications, including protocols, algorithms,  
architectures, and middleware for mobile roaming, bandwidth and  
connectivity management, media streaming, storage, and integration,  
user authentication, identity and profile management, social  
interaction, distributed computing, and other aspects of ubiquitous  
media access that are essential for emerging applications.



-          INNOVATIVE DESIGNS AND IMPLEMENTATIONS of user interfaces,  
applications, and systems that address challenging issues in mobile  
interaction and ubiquitous media access across devices with different  
form factors, seamless transition between computing platforms, context  
aware UI and content presentation, management of large user  
populations and complex service interactions.



-          APPLICATIONS OF RESEARCH METHODS AND TECHNIQUES from social  
network analysis, machine learning, information retrieval, computer  
graphics, computer vision, speech processing, user interfaces and  
interaction design to mobile and ubiquitous multimedia.



The Conference Program will include tutorials, posters, research and  
industry demo session, doctoral consortium, keynote presentations from
