ICST - Mobilware'08: first cfp

***** MOBILWARE *****
First International Conference on MOBILe Wireless MiddleWARE,
Operating Systems, and Applications


http://www.mobilware.org/
Jointly sponsored by Create-Net and ICST
Innsbruck, Austria, February 13-15, 2008
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

The advances in wireless communication technologies and the
proliferation of mobile devices have enabled the realization of
intelligent environments for people to communicate with each other,
interact with information-processing devices, and receive a wide range
of mobile wireless services through various types of networks and
systems everywhere, anytime. A key enabler of this ambient intelligence
and unobtrusive connectivity is the advancement of software technology
in various communication sectors, ranging from communications middleware
and operating systems to networking protocols and applications.
This new international conference, MOBILWARE, is dedicated to addressing
emerging topics and challenges in various mobile wireless
software-related areas. The scope of the conference is the design,
implementation, deployment, and evaluation of middleware, operating
systems (OS), and applications for computing and communications in
mobile wireless systems. It aims to provide a high profile, leading edge
forum for researchers, engineers, and standards developers to present
their latest research, techniques, and experiences in the filed of
software technology for mobile wireless systems.


PAPERS: Original and unpublished research achievements in various
aspects of middleware/operating systems/applications are solicited.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- OS/middleware for embedded systems, wearable networks, and personal
area networks
- OS/middleware support for the integration of heterogeneous wireless
networks
- Middleware for mobile computing
- Middleware for QoS awareness, adaptation, and fault-tolerance of
mobile services
- Middleware for opportunistic networking in delay-tolerant mobile services
- Location-aware and context-aware mobile supports and services
- Mobility management and handoff management in heterogeneous integrated
networks
- Location and tracking supports and services
- Mobility-aware wireless service discovery, management, and delivery
- Intelligent and mobile agent technologies for mobile systems and services
- Human-computer interface and portable 3D graphics for mobile devices
- Middleware/applications for wireless sensor networks, vehicular
networks, home networks, and P2P systems
- Modeling and performance of mobile wireless services (VoIP, gaming,
P2P sharing, urban monitoring, …)
- Software supports for mobile military applications (navigation
modeling, 3D map representation, ...)
- Deployment and management supports for large-scale mobile services
- Policy, trust, security, and privacy issues for mobile wireless networks


POSTERS/DEMOS: The conference will include a poster/demo session to
highlight recent and on-going research, experiments, and provocative
ideas not yet published elsewhere. Poster/demo submissions will be
reviewed and summaries of accepted posters will appear in the conference
proceedings.


WORKSHOPS: Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential workshop
organizers are requested to submit a proposal of at most 5 pages,
including a biographical sketch of each proponent, to the Workshop Chair
by September 1, 2007. Proposal evaluation will be based on the expertise
and experience of the proponents and on the relevance of the subject matter.


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper, poster, and workshop submissions
will be handled electronically. Please visit the conference website

http://www.mobilware.org for detailed submission requirements and
procedures.


PUBLICATION: All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously
reviewed by technical program committee members and invited reviewers.
All accepted papers and poster abstracts will be made available in the
ACM Digital Library (pending) and then be included in major article
indexing services. Extended versions of selected papers from MOBILWARE
will be published in a dedicated special issue of the Mobile Networks
and Applications (MONET) Journal.
