***************************************************************************

The focus of Mobimedia this year will be on future Internet for green
and pervasive media.

The promise of a truly pervasive experience is to have the freedom to
roam around anywhere and not be bound to a single location, however, the
energy required to keep mobile devices connected to the network over
extended periods of time quickly dissipates. In fact, energy is a
critical resource in the design of wireless networks since wireless
devices are usually powered by batteries.

From the mobile manufacturer's perspective the energy consumption
problem is critical, not only technically but also taking into account
the market expectations from a newly introduced technology. In fact
there exists a continuously growing gap between the energy consumption
of emerging radio systems and what can be achieved by Battery technology
evolution; Scaling and circuit design progress; System level
architecture progress; and Thermal and cooling techniques. Without new
approaches for energy saving, there is a significant threat that the 4G
mobile users will be searching for power outlets rather than network
access, and becoming once again bound to a single location.

There is added momentum from the European stage for green radio to
globally reduce the electromagnetic radiation levels to have a better
coexistence of wireless system (less interference) as well as a reduced
human exposure to radiation leading to the so called Green Wireless
technologies.

Hence, there is a clear need for disruptive strategies to address all
aspects of power efficiency from the user devices through to the core
infrastructure of the network and how these devices and equipment
interact with each other.

In this framework, Mobimedia will provide an international forum where
industry, researchers and academia will be able to interact and exchange
experiences, ideas, and research results surrounding all aspects on
power saving to envisage a environmentally friendly Internet of the future.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished
technical papers on the following research topics, but not limited to:

o Cooperative communications
o Cognitive Radio networks
o Software Defined Radio approaches
o Short-Range Communications
o Energy Efficient Radio Resource Management and Routing
o QoE Multimedia for Future Internet
o P2P Multimedia for autonomic wireless infrastructures.
o Energy efficient Reconfigurable Radio Transceivers
o Network Coding
o Internet of things
o Cross-layer and Cross-System optimization strategies for
wireless multimedia
o User and device location in next generation networks.
o Security mechanisms and schemes in Cooperative networks
o Resource and Mobility Management in Cooperative Network.
o Dynamic Resource Management and bandwidth assignment for
multimedia in heterogeneous wireless networks.
o IMS for Multimedia services in next generation networks.
