Call for Papers

EAI MobiQuitous 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).

In 2020, EAI successfully launched an online conference format to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the events, all while retaining fully live interaction, publication and indexing. Due to the unrelenting global pandemic, this will also be the case in 2021.

Although we will miss having everyone meet and connect in person, we feel strongly that knowledge exchange must continue, if not more so. That is why we have equipped our online conferences with live viewing with chat, virtual Q&A, and a multitude of other measures to provide you with a great experience. Learn more about EAI’s online conferences.

If the situation allows it, the event will take place in its original location with an option to present remotely. In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

Scope

Despite the considerable research effort in the area of Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing over the nearly two decades, and the maturity of some of its base technologies, many challenges persist. The goal of the eighteenth annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2021) is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research in the field, involving international practitioners and researchers from diverse backgrounds. MobiQuitous 2021 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, sensing, data management, data processing and services, all with special focus on mobile and ubiquitous computing.

Submit paper

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We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, pertaining to the Internet of Things, mobile and ubiquitous systems. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on mobile and ubiquitous systems.

• Mobile User Experience
• Security and Privacy
• User Behaviour Analysis and Modelling
• Crowdsourcing – Platforms and Applications
• Internet of Things – Systems, Data Analytics, and Applications
• Urban/mobile Crowd-sensing
• Participatory Sensing
• Wireless Access Technologies
• Performance Analysis, Modelling and Measurement of Mobile Networks
• Wearable Computing
• Body Area Networks
• Mobile Data Analysis and Mobile Platforms
• Mobile Multimedia
• Mobile User Interfaces and Interaction Technologies
• Toolkit and Languages for Mobile Computing
• Networked Sensing and Applications
• Mobile Device Architectures
• Mobile Systems and Applications
• Mobile Data Management and Analytics
• Energy Aware Mobile Computing
• Pervasive Sensing
• Localization and Tracking
• Activity Recognition
• Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing
• Context and Location-based Applications and Services
• AI and Machine Learning Algorithms and Application for Mobile Computing
• Mobile Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality
• Mobile Cloud Computing

Publication

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

MobiQuitous proceedings are indexed in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Inspec, and Zentralblatt MATH.

Authors of selected best accepted and presented papers will be invited to submit an extended version to:

• Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal (IF: 2.602)

All accepted authors are eligible to submit an extended version in a fast track of:

• EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications (Open Access)

Additional publication opportunities:

• EAI/Springer Innovations in Communications and Computing Book Series

Paper submission

• Full papers should be at least 12 pages in length.
• Please submit Full papers to “Main track” in Confy+
• This conference uses a double-blind review model. The manuscript you upload should be anonymized.

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection.
