fine.) All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later,
the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a
particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for
publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited
to 7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously
published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The
first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper,
name, affiliation, postal address, email address, telephone number,
and Fax number for each author. The first page should also include
the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted)
and a maximum of 5 keywords. Also, the name of the conference that

Communications journal complemented the success of NGNM04 and NGNM05.
NGNM06 targets to address the challenges of middleware platforms required
for new generation mobile/wireless heterogeneous radio networks and
services. Mobile/Wireless middleware is anticipated to increase the
performance of applications running across potentially mixed wireless
networks, to support multiple mobile/wireless devices, to provide continuous
wireless access to content and services, to ensure end-to-end QoS and secure
content and services delivery and to offer cross-system and cross-layer
optimization taking into account issues related to usage behavior, mobility
patterns, traffic profiling, network selection and relevant
horizontal/vertical handovers.

MOBIQUITOUS 2006
http://www.mobiquitous.org
Sponsored by Create-Net and ICST
The Third Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
Computing, Networking and Service
July 17 - 21, 2006 San Jose, California, USA
In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE
Pending Sponsorship: IEEE Computer Society
========================================================================================================
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 Third Annual International
Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and
services (Mobiquitous-06) will cover all these aspects, providing
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, data management and services, all
with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing.
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, data
and services. Technical papers 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 feature topics:
* Ubiquitous architectures and systems
* Wearable computing and personal area networks
* Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi)
* Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems
* Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks
* Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms
* Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
* Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
* Peer-to-peer computing and networking
* Emerging industrial/business/scientific scenarios
* Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)
* Smart spaces
* Ad hoc and sensor networks
* Location-based services and tracking
* Context and location aware application
* Multimedia encoding and transcoding
* Middleware services
* Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems
* Hardware and software platforms for ubiquitous systems, and testbeds
* Context modeling, services and frameworks
* Toolkits, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing
* Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications
* Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing
* Mobile and ubiquitous data management
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled
electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors
should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper.
Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5
x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font
size must be at least 10 points. The deadline for submitting the
actual paper is March 6, 2006. All deadlines are 11:59PM PST.
PUBLICATION: All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by
the international technical program committee. Accepted papers
will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of
particular merit will be proposed for publication in the
ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journal.
WORKSHOPS: Four workshops will be run in conjunction with the
conference. Please see the web site for more information.
DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are
solicited. A maximum of 3 pages should be submitted which
include a description of the demo and needed equipment. Proposals
should be submitted to the Demo Chair by May 1, 2006.
