Call for Workshop Proposals
Introduction
The EAI MobiQuitous 2025 Organising Committee invites proposals for the workshop program of the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore opportunities for new research related to ubiquitous computing. Innovative ideas are particularly welcome as the main topic of a workshop. Workshops should emphasise emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full conference but are within the general scope of EAI MobiQuitous. We especially encourage workshop organizers to apply as an international team from different institutions, representing a variety of perspectives.
We aim for a balanced workshop program offering a diverse set of themes.
Deadline for Workshop Proposals: 15 May 2025
Notification of proposal acceptance: 20 May 2025,
Proposal Content
Format
- Workshop title
Abstract (less than 200 words)
Name, affiliation, and e-mail address for each organizer
Identification of the primary contact person(s) - Background and Motivation: What is the overall topic of the workshop? Why is this topic of particular interest at this time? If the workshop has been organized in the past at MobiQuitous or other conferences, please give details of previous instances (venue, URL) and describe why it should be held again and how it will extend and build upon previous ones.
- Topics and scope: These should be within or close to the scope covered by the main conference, as mentioned above.
- Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format, including the target number of participants, planned activities (such as introductions, invited talks, breakout group activities, general discussion), as well as how these activities address the workshop objectives.
- Soliciting Submissions: Indicate how you plan to attract submissions and/or participants. Tactics may include circulating a call to relevant mailing lists (indicate these please as well), publicizing your workshop at other relevant venues, and more.
- Selecting Participants: Indicate how you plan to select participants and contributions to the workshop. Indicate a program committee to help with the organization/review process.
- Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers’ background and interests related to pervasive computing and the specific workshop topic.
Workshop selection
We aim to select a diverse set of workshops and avoid having multiple workshops on overlapping themes. In order to promote vivid discussions with more participants to the workshops, EAI will offer one or more complimentary registrations to the Workshop Organiser(s), based on the number of papers in the workshop track.
The criteria for assessment will include:
– Relevance to conference vision/topics and attendees
– Potential to bring in participants to the conference from different audiences
– Overall quality of contribution
– Provides a hands-on, collaborative, and/or active learning environment for attendees
Workshop publication
Accepted and presented papers will be published alongside the main conference proceedings as a sub-section/chapter. Paper formats should, therefore, correspond to the templates of the publisher of the main conference.
Workshop chairs are invited to engage journals and further publication opportunities.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted in a maximum of 4 pages in PDF format.
Please email your proposals to the Workshops chairs:
