The global deployment of all-IP networks in both fixed and mobile domains, also referred to as Next Generation Networks (NGNs) and Next Generation Mobile Networks, is enabling the seamless integration of fixed and mobile high-speed future Internet. Seamless access from multiple devices to an open set of multimedia communication and information services is driving the accelerating demand for open, interconnected, secure, and energy efficient multimedia communication infrastructures, devices, and services. The increasing demand for global wireless connectivity and cloud based service provision in particular raises many technical challenges, ranging from legacy migration, interworking, security, quality of service, charging, energy efficiency, network neutrality and business models.

This workshop is the 1st annual workshop of IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee - MMTC (http://committees.comsoc.org/mmc/ <http://committees.comsoc.org/mmc/> ) and will be held in conjunction with the 54th Annual IEEE GLOBECOM 2011 Conference in Houston, Texas from 5 ? 9 December 2011. It provides a premium forum for discussions among leading experts from the academia and industry about hot topics of research and development in the emerging field of next generation “green” wireless multimedia communications, characterized by its efficiency, seamlessness, accessibility, quality of service and security.

Authors are invited to submit original technical papers covering, but not limited to, the topics of interest listed below:

- Next Generation Network Infrastructures
- Multimedia Communication over Hostile Networks, Video Coding and Communications
- Wireless Communication Systems
- Green Computing and Communications

Important deadlines:
- Paper Submission: July 7, 2011
- Acceptance Notification: August 15, 2011
- Camera-Ready Paper: August 31, 2011
- Workshop Date: December 5 or 9, 2011
