The recent advances in wireless communication and ubiquitous computing technologies facilitate an umbrella of high-rate coverage and seamless user experience, but also support the coexistence of diverse device types, different services and heterogeneous networks. For dynamic Quality-of-Service (QoS) management with real-time guarantees, a variety of software technologies in different communication sectors are integrated together to improve network efficiency while satisfying different application requirements such as mobility, scalability, reliability, adaptability, fault tolerance, and interoperability. In MobilWare 2026, we will discuss various related topics ranging from communication middleware and operating systems to networking protocols and applications.

1. Mobile middleware enabling machine-to-machine communication
2. Mobile crowdsourcing and people-centric collaborative sensing
3. 5G and beyond networks
4. Big data and machine learning for networks
5. AI/ML for smart wireless networks
6. AI and machine learning based applications for ad hoc networks
7. Information security and privacy
8. Information-centric networking
9. Localization and location-based services
10. Software-defined networking
11. Vehicular networks
12. Middleware-aware big data platforms and services
13. Data-intensive services for next-generation middleware
14. Smart space/city middleware and applications
15. Uncertain and imprecise information processing over middleware
16. Mobile Middleware services for big data access
17. Middleware for mobile cloud/edge computing (e.g., seamless offloading)
18. Novel mechanisms for wireless-sensor and home networks
19. QoS awareness, adaptation, and fault-tolerance of mobile services
20. Modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of mobile wireless systems
21. Energy-efficient applications, services, and middleware
22. Mobility and handoff management
23. Wearable and human-centric devices and networks Architecture, framework, protocols and services for next generation network
24. Cloud, crowd-sourced, participatory and (mobile) social sensing
25. Cyber-physical systems and applications

All registered and presented papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer – LNICST series and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library: MOBILWARE proceedings. This series is indexed in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, Inspec, SCImago and Zentralblatt MATH.

Available journals

Authors have the opportunity to publish their articles in the EAI Endorsed Transactions journal selected by the conference (Scopus, Ei-indexed, ESCI-WoS, Compendex) by paying an additional $250, discounted from the standard $400 rate for conference authors.

The article’s publication is subject to the following requirements:  

• It must be an extended version of the conference paper with a different title and abstract. In general, 30% of new content must be added.
• The article will be processed once the conference proceedings have been published.
• The article will be processed using the fast-track option.
• Once the conference proceedings are published, the corresponding author should contact us at [email protected] with the details of their article to begin processing.

Additional publication opportunities

• EAI Transactions series (Open Access)
• EAI/Springer Innovations in Communications and Computing Book Series
  (titles in this series are indexed in Ei Compendex, Web of Science & Scopus)

EAI is an open community dedicated to creating an environment where every member receives the same opportunities, benefits and opportunities to develop and grow their research mission and career. As the largest free professional research society in the world, EAI offers a complete range of conference proceedings publication opportunities. Based on the qualification of the conference and the conference scope, EAI provides the possibility to publish the proceedings for every sponsored conference. Consistent with its mission to support developing communities, all EAI sponsored conferences appear in EUDL, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). EUDL is Open Access and free for EAI members, reaching a community of 250,000 subscribers and providing the visibility that allows the conference organisers to develop the conference into a fully fledged indexed proceedings publication in subsequent years.

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

• Regular papers should be up to 12-20 pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

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. You can learn more about Community Review here.

1. Go to Confy+ website.
2. Log in or sign up as a new user.
3. Select your desired track.
4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions.

• All papers must be submitted in English. 
• Submitted PDFs should be anonymized.
• Single-blind reviw process.
• Previously published work cannot be submitted, nor can it be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. These papers will be rejected without review. 
• Papers must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (available in the Author’s Kit section). 
• Authors must read and agree to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
• As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images should have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text)

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
