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

The speed and the quality of expanding and creating a vast variety of multimedia services
like voice, email, short messages, Internet access, m-commerce, to mobile video conferencing,
streaming video and audio has brought true mobile multimedia experiences to mobile customers.

Due to constant changing environments, limited battery life and diverse data types, Mobile
Multimedia implies considerable challenges to operators, infrastructure builders in terms of
ensuring fast, reliable services and accommodating the quick growing global customer needs.

MoMM'2008 aims to provide an international forum by researchers, students, and professionals
for presenting recent research results on mobile computing and multimedia, and to bring together
experts from both academia and industry for the exchange of ideas and discussion on future
challenges in mobile computing and multimedia.
