The 2011 International Workshop on Multimedia, Communication and Convergence technologies will be held in Crete, Greece on June 28-30, 2011.

The MCC 2011 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on the various aspects of Multimedia, Communication and Convergence technologies (MCC 2011). The MCC 2011 will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of Multimedia, Communication and Convergence technologies (MCC).

In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories, modeling, and practical applications in MCC. Furthermore, we expect that the conference and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.

MCC'11 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and welcomes papers that address challenges of multimedia, communications and convergence technologies in general or in the context of specific domains.
The selected outstanding papers will be published in following Journal.

- The Journal of Supercomputing (JoS) - Springer (SCI)
