MobiSys 2008

http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2008/

Date of event: June 17, 2008 until June 20, 2008
Submission deadline: December 3, 2007
Registration deadline: April 2, 2008

MobiSys 2008 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design,
   implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems,
   applications, and services. This conference builds on the success of the previous four
   MobiSys conferences. It is jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and the USENIX
   Association.

   We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on
   low-level components. We value results and insights obtained from working
   implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have
   any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the
   program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs@acm.org. Topics of interest include, but are not
   limited to:

• Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile and wireless systems
• Middleware and service architectures for mobile and wireless applications
• Data management for mobile and wireless applications
• Operating systems for resource-constrained mobile devices
• Disconnected and weakly connected operation
• Proxies and data adaptation
• Mobile agents
• Infrastructure support for mobility
• Security and privacy in mobile and wireless systems
• System-level energy management for mobile and wireless devices
• Wearable and handheld devices in the context of system design
• Personal-area networks and systems
• Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile services
• Systems for context sensing and context awareness
• Tools and design methodologies for building mobile and wireless systems
• Mobile computing support for pervasive computing
• User interfaces and usability issues for mobile and wireless applications
• Experience with mobile and wireless systems
• Experience with sensor networks and systems
• Support for social networking

   Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including
   figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point
   (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should
   include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be
   anonymous. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity,
   relevance, and technical correctness. Accepted papers will be shepherded by a member
   of the program committee.

   MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be
   submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must
   not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently
   published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not
   acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the
   scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material
   during the review.

   Abstracts are due by 23:59 EST on Monday, November 26, 2007. Full papers are due
   by 23:59 EST on Monday, December 3, 2007. These are hard deadlines; no extensions
   will be granted.
