MobiQuitous 2019 invites proposals for workshops of the 16th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services, to be held in Houston, November 12-14, 2019.
We are soliciting workshop proposals on any topic of relevance to Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. All workshops will be held on 12th November 2019. 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.
