Context 
================================= 
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.

Moreover, the emerging mobile computing and ubiquitous networking technologies enable users 
to access fully broadband mobile applications and new services anytime and everywhere. The 
continuous efforts have been dedicated to research and development in this wide area including 
wireless mobile networks, ad-hoc and sensor networks, smart user devices and advanced sensor 
devices, mobile and ubiquitous computing platforms, and new applications and services including 
location-based, context-aware, or social networking services.

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. MUE 2012 is the next event in a series of highly successful the
