Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services, in cooperation with ACM

SIGAPP, SIGBED and technically co-sponsored by IEEE.

We are soliciting competition proposals on topics of relevance to Mobile and Ubiquitous

Computing.

• You have a dataset you want people to exploit?

• You want to push people to compete with new approaches hot topics in Networked,

Mobile and Ubiquitous systems?

• You have a challenge/problem you would like to see solved and are looking for creative

solutions?

Competitions are a great opportunity to direct the interest of a community towards a hot topic

and to connect with people that conduct the real research.

Depending on the competition format, scientific papers submitted to competitions can be

included in the adjunct proceedings of the Mobiquitous Conference and will

then be accessible via the ACM digital library.
