mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">) is dedicated to address the challenges in the areas
of delivering multimedia content using modern communication and networking
techniques. The workshop looks for significant contributions to multimedia
content encoding, network transfer, and quality evaluation in theoretical and
practical aspects. The multimedia & networking computing domain emerges
from the integration of multimedia content such as audio and video with
distribution technologies. This workshop aims to cover contributions in both
the design and analysis in the context of multimedia,
wired/wireless/heterogeneous networks, and quality evaluation. It also intends
to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to
focus on advanced multimedia and networking performance analysis concepts and
establish new collaborations in these areas.</span></p>
