In recent years real-time multimedia services have been contributing extensively to our life experience and are expected to be among the most important applications in the future Internet. The management of content distribution services is an important key to attract and keep customers, while increasing profits to content providers. At the same time the complexity and dynamics of content networks require special solutions in order to provide efficient delivery and deployment of real-time multimedia services. Further, emerging diverse and heterogeneous wired and wireless systems is a challenging research objective. The interoperability of applications, transport and network protocols, as well as, the demand for improved Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE), and seamless mobility control creates a challenging study field and also possibilities for research of novel communication protocols, architectures and methods towards Future Multimedia Networking Systems. Thus, one major challenge is the ever growing complexity of communication management and network maintenance. Solutions are required in which services, management and administration entities interact and behave autonomously, with the overall goal of creating content centric networks.

The objective of the Future Multimedia Networking – FMN 2010 workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research and developing activities contributing to aspects of multimedia systems, content networking, and autonomous communication. We are inviting both theoretical and experimental papers as well as work-in-progress research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Content centric networks
Autonomic content networks
Audio-visual systems
Novel protocols for multimedia services
Grid networking for multimedia services
Multimedia in personal, sensor and ad-hoc networks
Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks and autonomic network infrastructures
Multimedia in mobile and broadband wireless access networks
Quality of service management in content centric networks
Quality of experience management in content centric networks
Seamless mobility of multimedia services in emerging content networks
Multicast and broadcast multimedia service management
Resource reservation for multimedia services
Context-aware content distribution
