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
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unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or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
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
