A major factor in the success of the convergence of future networks to 4G, All-IP technology is the efficient support of content-rich multimedia applications and services in mobile networks.  There are many applications that will be enabled by new standards for mobile networking, such as triple services for mobile networks, digital television in a converged environment, video streaming, interactive gaming, navigation services, context aware services, emergency and healthcare applications, and immersive communications in virtual environments. The research objective of the processing and delivery of multimedia in wireless environments, to heterogeneous mobiles and users, while, at the same time, achieving multimedia session continuity, retaining multimedia QoS characteristics and utilizing user context and content metadata, is a very challenging task and amplifies the need to evaluate the conditions, restrictions and also the opportunities under which the delivery of such services can be accomplished.

The focus of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the technologies needed for Context-aware Multimedia Content Delivery. Specifically, the workshop intends to address the following research areas: a) Development of new techniques for delivering rich video experience to users over existing wireless technologies; b) Definition of methods to utilize the situation and environment of a user (context) to initiate multimedia-rich content delivery; c) Deployment of broadcast/multicast adaptive content delivery technologies to mobile users with diverse QoS requirements.

Within this scope, the CAMCD workshop aims to provide a unique international forum and foster interaction among researchers by bringing together members of the video and networking communities. The workshop will provide an interesting venue for academic and industrial participants to discuss in terms of how next generation mobile video content should delivered to end-users.

The workshop proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and indexed in relevant databases.

Selected best and outstanding papers will be considered for international journal special issues.

The CAMCD workshop is collocated with the Internetional Conference on Ultra Modern Communications ( ICUMT2009 ). The ICUMT 2009 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and wonderful art galleries and museums, among a number of other attractions, the wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt in this beautiful city.

The venue place and official hotel for the ICUMT 2009 and CAMCD 2009 is the Pulkovskaya Park Inn ****
