MobiQuitous 2018 invites proposals for workshops of the 15th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services, to be held in New York City, 5–7 November 2018.
We are soliciting workshop proposals on any topic of relevance to Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. All workshops will be held on 5th November 2018 . Workshops are a great opportunity for community building and a forum for attendees with common interests. Accepted workshop papers are included in the adjunct proceedings of the Mobiquitous Conference and will be accessible via the ACM digital library.
Pre-proposal Submission Inquiries
Should you wish to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal, feel free to contact the Workshop Chairs Aruna Balasubramanian ( [email protected] ) and Shucheng Yu ([email protected]).

The document should describe the topic, rationale and objectives for the workshop, the organizers’ backgrounds and bio, and an estimate of expected attendance. In the case of follow-up workshops, please provide statistics from any previously held workshops and a
detailed plan (timeline) for conducting the workshop (including any plans for pre-workshop preparation and/or post-workshop follow up).
Workshop Selection Process
Workshops will be reviewed based on several factors, including:

In the case of multiple submissions on similar topics, organizers may be encouraged to merge them.
