Call for Papers

Scope

The advances in wireless communication technologies and the proliferation of mobile devices have enabled the realization of intelligent environments for people and machines to communicate with each other, interact with information-processing devices, and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of networks and systems everywhere, anytime. A key enabler of these pervasive and ubiquitous connectivity environments is the advancement of software technology in various communication sectors, ranging from communication middleware and operating systems to networking protocols and applications.

EAI international conference MobilWare 2020 solicits research papers describing significant and innovative research contributions to the field of mobile wireless middleware, operating system and applications. We invite submissions on a wide range of research topics, spanning both theoretical and systems research.
