Call for Papers

Scope

Despite the considerable research effort in the area of Ubiquitous Computing in the past decade, and the maturity of some of its base technologies, many challenges persist. The goal of the Twelfth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:  Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2015) is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research in the field at international level, involving practitioners  and  researchers from diverse backgrounds. MobiQuitous 2015 will thus foster research collaboration through focused discussions, interaction and exchange of experiences that will designate future research efforts and directions. Areas addressed by the conference include systems, applications, social networks, middleware, networking, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing.

 

Topics

We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference  or  journal, pertaining to the Internet of Things and Ubiquitous Systems, broadly conceived. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on mobile and ubiquitous systems. Contributions describing  an  overall  working  system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of interest.

 

Topics  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  following:

 

·      Wireless  Access  Technologies

·      Networked  Sensing,  and  Applications

·      Mobile  Device  Architectures

·      Mobile  Systems  and  Applications

·      Mobile  Data  Management  and  Analytics

·      Mobile  Multimedia

·      Mobile  User  Interfaces  and  Interaction  Technologies

·      Mobile  User  Experience

·      Toolkit,  and  Languages  for  Mobile  Computing

·      Energy  Aware  Mobile  Computing

·      Mobile  Cloud  Computing

·      Semantic  Web  Technologies

·      Localization  and  Tracking

·      Internet  of  Things  –  Systems,  Data  Analytics,  and  Applications

·      Crowdsourcing  –  Platforms  and  Applications

·      Participatory  Sensing

·      Social  Network  Applications  to  Mobile  Computing

·      Context  and  Location  Aware  Applications  and  Services

·      Wearable  Computing

·      Body  Area  Networks

·      Security  and  Privacy

 

Publications

The  international  technical  program  committee  will  rigorously  review  all submitted  papers  and  ACM  Digital  Library  will  publish  the  accepted  papers. Submitted  papers  for  review  must  not  exceed  10  pages  including text, figures and references, and  should  be  in  PDF and  formatted  in  the  ACM  Double  Column  format.  Detailed  format  and submission  instructions  including  style  templates  for  MS  Word  and  LaTex  are provided in the Author's kit section. Papers may also be published in the EAI Transactions on Ubiquitous Environments. 

The proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

We reserve the right to exclude papers accepted but not presented from the conference proceedings submitted for archiving and indexing.
