In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emergingin the
wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of
"things" or "objects", such as RFID, sensors, actuators, mobile
phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to
interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring
"smart" c- ponents to reach common goals. This novel paradigm,
named "The Internet of Things" (IoT) continues on the path set by
the concept of smart environments and paves the way to the depl-
ment of numerous applications with a signi cant impact on many elds
of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS), business/process management,assisted
living, and e-health are only a few examples of possible
application elds in which this novel paradigm will play a leading
role in the next future. Actually,manychallengingissues still

composing the IoT will be characterized by low resources in terms
of both computation and energy capacity. Accordingly, the proposed

networks, as well as electromagnetic aspects.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the 7th International ICST Conference on Mobile
Multimedia Communications (MOBIMEDIA 2011) held in Cagliari, Italy,
in September 2011 The 26 revised full papers presented were
carefully selected from numerous submissions and focus topics such
as quality of experience, dynamic spectrum access wireless networks
in the TV white spaces, media streaming, mobile visual search,
image processing and transmission, and mobile applications.
