MOBIQUITOUS 2007: Call for papers

========================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS

MOBIQUITOUS 2007
The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
Computing, Networking and Services

http://www.mobiquitous.org

August 6-10, 2007 - Philadelphia, PA
Co-sponsored by Create-Net and ICST
In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE
========================================================================

The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a
promising new paradigm. Through the use of mobile devices and devices
embedded in the surrounding physical environments, users can be provided
transparent computing and communication services at all times and in all
places. The complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that
the communication devices and the objects with which they interact may
both be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in
wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures
supporting cognitive environments, discovery and identification of
ubiquitous computing applications and services, and an understanding of
the cross-layer interactions between all of these components. The Fourth
Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
Computing, Networking and Services (Mobiquitous-07) will provide a forum
where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in
ubiquitous solutions, design and deployment will be able to interact and
exchange experiences needed to build successful 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. The proceedings

will be published by IEEE and accepted papers will be available in IEEE
Xplore.

PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are
solicited. 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 as applied to mobile and ubiquitous environments:

- Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications
- Wearable computing and personal area networks
- Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous
(Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi)
- Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems
- Ad hoc and sensor networks support for ubiquitous computing
- Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks
- Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
- Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
- Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms
- Location-based services and tracking in ubiquitous environments
- Context- and location-aware applications
- Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems
- Context modeling, services and frameworks
- Toolkits, testbeds, development environments, and languages for
ubiquitous computing
- Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications
- Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing
- Mobile and ubiquitous data management and processing
- Data replication, migration and dissemination in ubiquitous environments
- Queries, transactions and workflows in mobile and ubiquitous environments
- Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)

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.

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: Several workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference.

The purpose of these workshops is to discuss work in progress and explore
opportunities for new research related to mobile and ubiquitous systems:
computing, networking and services. Proposals for workshops should be at
most four pages in length and should be submitted to Dr. Suman Banerjee
(suman at cs.wisc.edu) by February 9, 2007.
