CALL FOR PAPERS

MobiCom 2007 The Thirteenth Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking

September 9-14, 2007 Montreal, QC, Canada http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2007/

Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. It has served as an exciting international forum since 1995, addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support the symbiosis of mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. New this year, Mobicom will be jointly held with ACM Mobihoc. The two conferences will run in parallel, and will have many joint plenary sessions (such as the keynote, panels, and welcoming reception).

Authors are invited to submit full papers, challenges papers, student posters, and research demos and exhibits, presenting new research related to the theory or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity * Applications and services for mobile users * Cyber-physical computing and networking * Delay/disruption tolerant networks * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Implementations and experimental testbeds for mobile/wireless networks * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Modeling, measurement and simulation of mobile networks * Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks and systems * Protocols exploiting dynamic spectrum, UWB, MIMO, directional antennas * Resource management and quality-of-service for real-time traffic support * Security, privacy, and fault-tolerance of mobile/wireless systems * Wireless access technologies (e.g., mesh networks, personal area networks)
