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. So far these developments have been focusing on the entertainment sector and attracting attention from main multimedia markets. However, in other industrial areas multimedia services are becoming more and more important. Examples are security and property protection (e.g. CCTV), traffic control and guidance systems, healthcare systems, industrial process control, corporate communication, advertising, etc. Therefore, the resulting 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</font></div><div><font class="yiv253799269Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif">(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 multimedia/content/service/people-centric</font></div><div><font class="yiv253799269Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif">networks.</font></div><div><font class="yiv253799269Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman',

This year’s theme is “Future Multimedia Networking:</font></div><div><font class="yiv253799269Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif">Entertainment and Beyond”. The goal is to look beyond the challenges arising from entertainment services also considering the specific requirements coming from other domains. Therefore FMN 2012 will also promote some novel topics specifically focusing on these areas. FMN 2012’s topics include but are not limited to:</font></div><div><font class="yiv253799269Apple-style-span" face="'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif">- Future Internet Architecture for
