***********************************************************************
The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a
promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication
services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user,
using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this
context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or
both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances
in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures
supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of
ubiquitous computing applications and services.
The second Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
networking and services (Mobiquitous-05) will cover all these aspects,
representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the
many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be
able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the
overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include:
applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents,
knowledge management and databases.
PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are
solicited. The conference is interested in contributions addressing all the
areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous architectures, infrastructure
and services. Technical works clearly identifying how the specific
contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of
interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Ubiquitous architectures and systems
* Wearable computing and personal area network
* Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee,
802.15.x, WiFi)
* Incentive-based deployment of ad hoc networks
* Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless network
* Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and
composition mechanisms
* Wireless/mobile service management and delivery

SCOPE
-----
BroadNets 2005 is an international conference focusing on broadband
networking and covers the entire gamut of next generation networks
with high bandwidth available for both wireless and wireline networks. The
conference will consist of the following three symposia:
** Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium: covers mobility, routing for
multihop, multimedia QoS and traffic management,
cross-layer optimization, MAC and emerging physical layer technologies (UWB,
MIMO) for high-speed wireless networking.
** Broadband Optical Networking Symposium: covers WDM technologies, Ethernet
and MPLS integration into the optical layer,
Next-Generation SONET/SDH, as well as SAN extensions over DWDM/SONET/SDH.
** Broadband Applications/Services Symposium: covers middleware and service
architectures for broadband applications, pervasive
computing and ubiquitous communications, and universal broadband access for
information services.
BroadNets 2005 will thus offer a unique forum for researchers from academia,
government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new
results in these important areas.
This Call for Papers describes the details for the Broadband
Applications/Services Symposium ONLY. (Refer to the www.broadnets.org

academic and industry researchers to present issues and opportunities for
tomorrow's IT infrastructure as driven by broadband applications and
services. We invite the research community to present the most recent
advances in this field, to discuss exciting research topics and development
of test beds and applications, and to share their research and development
experiences. We hope to organize one or more panel sessions of
industry leaders to offer them an opportunity to outline their vision for
future broadband networks, as well as to offer academic and national
laboratory researchers an opportunity to ask questions/provide feedback to
these industry leaders. Our goal is to raise the awareness of new
industry developments in the academic community, and, at the same time, to
establish a sound link between applied and theoretical research.
Topics of interest for which we are soliciting full-length papers include,
but are not limited to, the following:
