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
second
Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
networking and
services (Mobiquitous-05) will cover all these aspects, representing a
forum
where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved
in
ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact
exchanging
the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous
systems.
Areas addressed by the conference include: applications,
service-oriented
computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and
databases.
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Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research,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 and services.
Technical
works 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:
- Ubiquitous
architectures and systems
- Wearable
computing and personal area network
- Wireless
technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x,
WiFi)
- Incentive-based
deployment of ad hoc networks
- Reconfigurability
and personalization of wireless network
- 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
knowledge management
- Emerging
industrial/business scenarios
- Multimodal
interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)
- Smart spaces
- Ad hoc and
sensor networking
- Localization
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
- User
interfaces
- Toolkits,
development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing
- Ontologies
for mobile and ubiquitous computing
SUBMISSION
INSTRUCTIONS: All paper
submissions will be handled electronically. Papers can be submitted online at
https://msrcmt.research.microsoft.com/Mobiquitous2005/ . Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) or
postscript
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 registering the title and the abstract of the
paper
with our electronic submission system is February 16, 2005. The deadline
for
submitting the actual paper is February 23, 2005. All deadlines are
9:00 PM PST.
PUBLICATION: All submitted
papers will be rigorously reviewed by technical
program committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference
proceedings, which is to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and to be
made available online via IEEE Explore. Papers of particular
merit will be considered for publication in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile
Networks (MONET) Journal .
WORKSHOPS: Proposals for one-day
workshops to be held in conjunction with the
conference are solicited. A maximum
of 2 pages should be submitted which include the workshop name, its
scope and a
list of topic of interests. Proposals
should be submitted to both the Workshop co-Chairs by December 17 2004.
DEMOS: Proposals for
research and
industrial demos are solicited. A
maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include a description of
the
demo and needed resources from the conference organizers.
Proposals
should be submitted to Dr. Ramiro Liscano (Demo Chair)
[email protected] by June
15th, 2005.
