MUE 2010's submission web site : http://www.editorialsystem.net/mue2010/ Keynote Speakers * Dr. Mohammad S. Obaidat President, The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, SCS Fellow of the IEEE and Fellow of SCS Professor, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Monmouth University, USA * Prof. Borko Furht Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Florida Atlantic University Overview The new multimedia standards (for example, MPEG-21) facilitate the seamless integration of multiple modalities into interoperable multimedia frameworks, transforming the way people work and interact with multimedia data. These key technologies and multimedia solutions interact and collaborate with each other in increasingly effective ways, contributing to the multimedia revolution and having a significant impact across a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, education, and governmental domains. This conference provides an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of multimedia and ubiquitous environment including models and systems, new directions, novel applications associated with the utilization and acceptance of ubiquitous computing devices and systems. The goals of this conference are to provide a complete coverage of the areas outlined and to bring together the researchers from academic and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, challenges, and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of this field.
