********************* Overview **********************
The field of mobile computing and multimedia is expanding in an  
unprecedented pace. Indicators are the rapidly increasing penetration  
of the cellular phone market around the world, and the mobile  
computing market is growing nearly twice as fast as the desktop  
market. In addition, technological advancements have significantly  
enhanced the usability of mobile communication and computer devices.  
 From the first CT1 cordless telephones to today’s Iridium mobile  
phones and laptops/PDAs with wireless Internet connection, mobile  
tools and utilities have made the life of many people at work and at  
home much easier and more comfortable. As a result, mobility and  
wireless connectivity are expected to play a dominant role in the  
future in all branches of economy. The addition of mobility to data  
communications systems has not only the potential to put the vision of  
“being always on” into practice, but has also enabled new  
generation of services, e.g., location-based services.

********************* Mission *********************
The primary goal of ANGMM is to provide researchers and academic  
communities around the world with the highest quality titles while  
reporting the state-of-the-art research results and scientific  
findings allowing students, developers, engineers, innovators,  
research strategists and IT-managers in this field to gain greater  
insight into next generation mobile multimedia as they relate to  
applications, management, and opportunities within any given construct.

********************* Scope *************************
