The conference solicits original technical papers, not previously published and not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- New middleware concepts for mobile devices
- Cross platform application development
- Open terminal and network APIs
- End-to-end architectures for seamless service provisioning and deployment
- Integration of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks and frequency bands
- Interworking of mobile applications in mobile cloud environments
- QoS awareness, adaptation, and fault-tolerance of mobile services
- Opportunistic and delay-tolerant mobile and wireless networking
- Location-aware and context-aware networking and computing
- Energy-efficient applications and services and OS air interface management
- Mobility and handoff management
- Location and tracking supports and services
- Human-computer interface and portable 3D graphics for mobile devices
- Novel applications and communication protocols for wireless sensor networks, vehicular networks, and home networks
- Modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of mobile wireless systems and services
- Trustworthiness, security, and privacy of mobile and wireless systems
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) series. The proceedings will be available in both soft and hard copies by Springer.
SPECIAL ISSUES
Selected high-quality papers will be invited to a Special Issue of a prestigious journal in the area, probably Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) and/or Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) Journals – approval pending.
