Best Regards, Fahd Al-Bin-Ali Publicity Chair UbiComp 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS UBICOMP 2004 The 6th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing 7-10 September, 2004 Nottingham, UK www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org/> You are invited to contribute original and exciting ideas to UbiComp 2004, the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing. UbiComp is the premier venue for presenting research and development achievements in the design, implementation, deployment and evaluation of computing technology that migrates beyond our desktops and becomes increasingly embedded in a wide variety of other objects. Submissions to UbiComp 2004 must be original, unpublished work and may not be simultaneously submitted to any other conference or journal. <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/>Papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html>. Each conference attendee will receive a printed copy of the proceedings; additional copies can be purchased through Springer-Verlag. The proceedings will also be made available through digital libraries. Submissions must be in the LNCS format; full instructions and templates are available at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html A Conference Supplement, containing extended abstracts for Interactive Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Doctoral Colloquium papers, and Workshop and Panel descriptions, will be printed and given to conference attendees. Electronic versions of these materials will also be posted on the UbiComp web site. Submissions for these participation categories must use the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format. * * * * *Full papers* For Ubicomp 2004 we are soliciting high quality technical papers that describe original, unpublished research on handheld, mobile or ubiquitous computing. Potential areas of interest include: technologies, methodologies and formalisms to support ubiquitous computing and the development of ubiquitous computing applications (e.g. novel devices, system software, software engineering techniques and interaction methods); reports on experiences of designing, developing, deploying and living with ubiquitous computing systems; and, studies of the wider implications of ubiquitous computing. We are particularly seeking papers appropriate to the interdisciplinary community represented at the UbiComp 2004 conference. Submissions should report concrete, transferable results that contribute to our understanding of ubiquitous computing and help advance the state-of-the-art. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the UbiComp 2004 program committee and by additional members of the ubiquitous computing research community. Papers submitted to UbiComp 2004 must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication. Technical papers should be no longer than 18 pages, including an abstract of no more than 100 words, all figures and references, and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS format. In contrast to previous Ubicomp conferences there are no separate categories for long and short papers; all papers will be considered as full papers and should be an appropriate length for their content. Accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2004 Proceedings and authors are, of course, required to attend the conference to present their work. UbiComp 2004 submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page -- to preserve formatting, it would be best to leave these sections blank. Author, affiliation and address information should still be filled out on the electronic form for submitting the paper, and final camera-ready copies should have this information included. Authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institutions. UbiComp 2004 requires electronic submission. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication. Full submission details are available at www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org> *Deadline for Submission*: Papers due midnight GMT on March 12th 2004. *Panels* Panels provide a forum in which to examine innovative, provocative, controversial, or late-breaking issues. The best panels are often structured as a debate with an opportunity for audience participation. We are open to innovative formats including live demonstrations and/or technology competitions. Panel proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, and should include the panel topic, the names of panelists who have agreed to participate, one paragraph biographical sketches describing each panelists’ expertise, a position statement by each panelist, an overview of the ways in which the position statements relate to each other, and the proposed structure or format of the panel. If supporting technologies are required, proposals should clearly list these. Abstracts of accepted Panel proposals will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Videos* Videos are a great way to present innovations in ubiquitous computing, especially for those systems that would be particularly difficult to deploy at the conference for a live demonstration. Authors who are considering submissions in other participation categories are also encouraged to consider submitting formal videos that illustrate their work. Video submissions should be 4 to 8 minutes long. Longer videos will be subject to stricter review criteria. Authors must also submit a short paper abstract with a maximum of 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references, for each video submission. A panel of international reviewers will review videos for their technical content, interest and relevance to the ubiquitous computing community, communication effectiveness, and production quality. The video program will be playing continuously at the conference and will be published on a DVD+R and distributed to conference attendees. Abstracts of accepted Videos will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Workshops* Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of ubiquitous computing research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops may focus on any aspect of ubiquitous computing, established concerns or new ideas. The goal of the workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. Workshop proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, and should include a summary of no more than 150 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop, a longer description of the workshop activities and goals, the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number of participants, the means of soliciting participation, and the means of selecting participants. Workshops will be held on September 7^th the day before the main conference. Opportunities will be available for the outcome of workshops to be reported to the rest of the UbiComp 2004 conference Abstracts of accepted Workshop proposals will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Posters * Posters provide an opportunity for researchers to present work in a more open format where authors interact directly with groups of conference attendees. We especially encourage submission of late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a full Paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies, student research, and other research best presented in this open format. Poster submissions should include an extended abstract of no longer than 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references. Submissions may also include a separate description of the poster for review purposes, also limited to two pages; this description is encouraged for posters that have an interactive or visual component that is not easily determined from the abstract. Accepted Poster abstracts will be published in a Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Demonstrations* We seek proposals for demonstrations of ubiquitous computing technologies across the full milieu of everyday life: office, home, street, park, train, automobile, bedroom, bathroom, work, play, desktop, handheld, worn, public, private, community, individual, shared, and personal. We welcome a wide range of submission from scenarios involving innovative solutions of focused tasks as well as playful pursuits. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of ubiquitous computing. All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure a high quality demonstrations program. Research prototypes, provocative concept demonstrations, and commercial products are welcome. However, this forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system and be able to explain the differentiating and novel contributions of the system. Demonstrations of previously introduced technologies are welcome. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Doctoral Colloquium* The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced UbiComp researchers and practitioners. We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform ubiquitous computing, including computer science, engineering, cognitive science, sociology, and related fields. Applicants should be beyond the proposal stage and into their dissertation research. The Colloquium committee will select approximately 10 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Colloquium, to be followed by a discussion. Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages including an abstract of no more than 100 words and a description of the work in progress. In addition, a 2-3 paragraph biographical sketch should be supplied. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format. The Doctoral Colloquium will be held on September 7th, the day before the main conference. Doctoral Colloquium papers will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference.. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Student volunteers * Student volunteers provide the backbone of any successful conference. Accepted volunteers are expected to work in scheduled sessions during the conference, but will also be given great opportunities to attend the program and socialize. All student volunteers will receive a free registration to the conference (including meals & special events). *SV Chair*: Elaine May Huang, /Georgia// Tech/ *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004*

CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th ACM International Workshop on Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 2004) June 16-18, 2004 --- Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland _http://www.nossdav.org/2004/ _NOSSDAV 2004 will take place in Kinsale on the exceptionally scenic southern coast of Ireland. Kinsale is approximately a 20 minute drive outside Cork city, which is within easy reach of major European capitals and the east coast of the US. The workshop is sponsored by ACM SIG Multimedia, Microsoft Research and Science Foundation Ireland, and is in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. NOSSDAV 2004 will be run very much as a workshop with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and lively discussion. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype or real systems, including innovative experimental commercial designs and prototypes, as well as papers proposing new research directions for the community or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are particularly welcome. Given the growth and diversification of the field, a broad view will be taken in deciding what papers are within the scope of the workshop. For instance, papers describing novel ideas in congestion control or application-level multicast that are arguably of interest in the context of multimedia, would be in scope. If you are unsure and wish to check if a paper is within the workshop scope please email the Co-Chairs. ***Student participation is strongly encouraged*** - supported by several student travel grants and registration fee rebates. Submissions should be no longer than 6 pages. The expectation is that papers accepted at the workshop will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networked games * Peer-to-peer multimedia * Broadband streaming media content distribution * 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments * Wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems * Embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs) * Multimedia security * Internet telephony * Sensory interactive applications * Digital rights management Deadlines: Paper registration deadline - February 23, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Paper submission deadline - March 1, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Program Co-Chairs: Venkat Padmanabhan, Microsoft Research (USA) Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork (Ireland) Email: nossdav2004-pcchairs(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara (USA) Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom (France) Phil Chou, Microsoft Research (USA) Christophe Diot, Intel Research (UK) Kevin Jeffay, UNC Chapel Hill (USA) Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo (Canada) Sue Moon, KAIST (Korea) Reza Rejaie, University of Oregon (USA) Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University (USA) Srinivasan Seshan, CMU (USA) Anees Shaikh, IBM Research (USA) Lars Wolf, TU Braunsch -------------

PODC has historically focused more on a higher level, abstracting away the platform on which the computation takes place. But PODC was covering and contributing algorithms for distributing computing before the Internet platform arrived. The special track on Internet Algorithms will attempt to expand the focus and the community, and bring modern trends on Internet research closer to the PODC community, seeding future areas of research for the years to come. We are soliciting research contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of algorithms for current and future Internet applications. Both theoretical work and practical work that demonstrates fundamental principles of distributed computing in this setting are desired. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, + Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks + Analysis of small world networks + Algorithmic mechanism design for distributed systems + Distributed caching protocols + GRID computing + Multicast protocols + Network coding + Compression and coding in distributed systems + Models of fault-tolerance and reliability for Internet networks + Search engines and the Web: crawling and indexing + Data stream algorithms for distributed systems: stream algorithms for network monitoring, handling network traffic, and manipulating network-generated data. The special track is an integral part of PODC. The papers for the special track are to be submitted to PODC, as described in the PODC call for papers. The PODC program committee reflects expertise in the subjects of the special track, as well as in other PODC subjects. For the dates, formats, submission instructions, etc., please see the PODC call for papers (http://www.podc.org/podc2004/cfp.html). _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Last CFP International Journal of Computers and Applications on 'System and Networking for Smart Objects' Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 08:34:55 +0100 From: David Simplot-Ryl <David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr> To: <manet(a)ietf.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CC: arp(a)cines.fr, com-info(a)lifl.fr, alp-diffusion(a)univ-lille1.fr, tarot(a)hds.utc.fr Please accept our apologies in case you receive this information from multiple sources. ================================================================== Call for Papers IASTED International Journal of Computers and Applications (IJCA) Special Issue on 'System and Networking for Smart Objects' http://www.actapress.com/journals/specialca2.htm Purpose IASTED International Journal of Computers and Applications (IJCA), by ACTA Press, seeks articles for a special issue on System and Networking for Smart Objects, to appear in January 2005. The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl and Gilles Grimaud, University of Lille, France, and Jean-Jacques Vandewalle, Gemplus Systems Research Labs, France. The ubiquitous sudden increase of new networked devices and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. The concept of 'smart object' is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, transient communication links, mobile and untrusted environment, etc. These constraints impact in operating system design which represents a huge challenge for a great number of research activities. The goal of this special issue of the International Journal of Computers and Applications by ACTA Press, USA, is to publish original research and review articles in the domains of operating system and networking for smart devices given below. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: - Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts - Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects - Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems - Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects - Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems - Location-dependent / personalized applications - Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes Submission and timetable The submission deadline is February 20, 2004. Send papers as .pdf file to David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr. Papers must be written in English and must confine to a maximum of 18 pages (including abstract page, equations, tables, all figures, references, author biographies and photos (optional)) with double-line spacing per page. Clear fonts with 12-pt size must be used. All the pages shall be numbered. If there are any photographs to be included good quality printing must be used to aid referees to see the photographs clearly. Avoid coloring any graphs unless use of color shades is meant for any technical purposes. References shall be typed in a consistent format throughout and must be referenced in the order they appear. Manuscripts should strictly follow the guidelines of ACTA Press, given at the following website: http://www.actapress.com/journals/submission.htm Manuscript Submission: February 20, 2004 Acceptance Notification: June 20, 2004 Final Manuscript Due: September 1, 2004 Publication: January 2005 Guest co-editors David SIMPLOT-RYL IRCICA/LIFL, Univ.

(AW) [semanticweb] CFP: ECAI-2004 Workshop on Ontology Learning and Population

> Call for Papers > > ECAI-2004 Workshop on Ontology Learning and Population: Towards > Evaluation of Text-based Methods in the Semantic Web and Knowledge > Discovery Life Cycle > > 16th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence > August 22nd - 24th 2004 > Valencia, Spain > > http://olp.dfki.de/ecai04/cfp.htm > > With Support From: KnowledgeWeb (http://knowledgeweb.semanticweb.org/) > > > > Topic and Motivation > ---------------- > Ontologies are formal, explicit specifications of shared > conceptualizations, representing concepts and their relations that are > relevant for a given domain of discourse. Currently, ontologies are > mostly developed (including ontology construction, extension, mapping > and merging) as well as used (ontology population through knowledge > markup) by a manual process, which is very ineffective and may cause > major barriers to their large-scale use in such areas as Knowledge > Discovery and Semantic Web. The expected central role of ontologies in > the organization and functioning of the Semantic Web has been well > documented in recent years. Somewhat less traditional is the role of > ontologies in incremental approaches to Knowledge Discovery, in which > ontologies and machine learning methods are used in combination to mine, > interpret and (re-)organize knowledge. > > As human language is a primary mode of knowledge transfer, linguistic > analysis of relevant documents for ontology learning and population > seems a viable option. More precisely, automation of these tasks can be > implemented by a combined use of linguistic analysis and machine > learning approaches for text mining. The workshop will therefore be > concerned with reports on the development of such methods, but > specifically also with the quantitative evaluation of these methods. > > Automatic methods for text-based ontology learning and population have > developed over recent years (e.g. results from the ECAI-2000, > IJCAI-2001, ECAI-2002 workshops on Ontology Learning and the KCAP-2001, > ECAI-2002, KCAP-2003 workshops on Knowledge Markup / Ontology > Population), but a remaining challenge is to evaluate in a quantitative > manner how useful or accurate the extracted ontology classes, properties > and instances are. In fact, this is a central issue as it is currently > very hard to compare methods and approaches, due to the lack of a shared > understanding of the task at hand. The core theme of the workshop > therefore will be to develop such a shared understanding through the > definition of a clear task (and corresponding sub-tasks), identify > resources needed for the task/sub-tasks and to discuss how best to > develop an open source evaluation platform. > > Areas of Interest > ------------ > Submissions are invited on these topics in Ontology Learning and > Population (OLP): > > * Evaluation Methodologies and Metrics for OLP > - Including Experience and Best Practice from Related Evaluation > Efforts in the Context of CLEF, TREC, SENSEVAL, etc. > * Datasets and Resources for the Evaluation of OLP > * Definition of Sub-Tasks for OLP > - Extraction of Taxonomy, Class-hierarchy > - Extraction of Class-properties, Relations > - Extraction of Class-instances, Individuals > * Definition of Related Tasks > - Ontology Extension, Evolution > - Ontology Mapping > - Ontology Merging > * Text-based Approaches for OLP, for instance (Combinations of): > - NLP and Linguistic Analysis for OLP > - (NLP-based) Text-mining for OLP > - (Ontology-aware) Information Extraction for OLP > * OLP in the Context of the Semantic Web > * OLP in the Context of Knowledge Discovery > > Workshop Schedule > --------------- > This will be a one-day workshop with a proposed schedule of 2 or 3 paper > sessions and a poster session.

Call for Papers: IEEE Pervasive Computing (also available at http://www.computer.org/pervasive/edcal0704.htm) Building and Evaluating Ubiquitous System Software Guest Editors: Vinny Cahill, Trinity College Dublin Armando Fox, Stanford University Tim Kindberg, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Bristol Brian Noble, University of Michigan Submission Deadline: 15 March 2004 WIP Deadline: 1 May 2004 Author guidelines: www.computer.org/pervasive/author.htm Submission address: http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com Publication date: July 2004 Ubiquitous computing environments raise new challenges for system software researchers. These environments incorporate a wide variety of devices, many of which are highly constrained in power and other local resources. Coordinating the devices is an even greater challenge because ubicomp environments tend to be volatile. Consider, for example, measuring context parameters such as human presence from a variety of sensors subject to routine disconnection and failure or exploiting services from a mobile device that regularly enters and leaves a state of connectivity. The heterogeneity and volatility of ubiquitous environments demand novel approaches to designing, building, and evaluating system software. IEEE Pervasive Computing magazine invites articles relating to system software for ubiquitous computing environments. We welcome papers that provide new software paradigms or algorithms, or relate implementation experience that other researchers can build upon. Successful submissions will clearly address an explicit ubiquitous system model and problem statement, which the authors relate to existing research. They will evaluate the proposed solution and so contribute to our knowledge of software for these systems in general. Example topics include (but are not limited to): * Resilience to routine failures and disconnections * Scalable coordination and synchronization mechanisms for volatile component collections * Operating systems and resource management algorithms for resource- constrained devices * Methods for acquiring environmental resources from minimal a priori models * Configuring and reconfiguring ubiquitous systems * Supporting spontaneous (ad hoc) interactions * The implications of physical-world integration for system design (system abstractions related to physical affordances) * Metrics and benchmarks * Case studies of deployed systems * Critical analyses of the state of the art Submissions should be 4,000 to 6,000 words long and should follow the magazine's guidelines on style and presentation. All submissions will be anonymously reviewed in accordance with normal practice for scientific publications. Electronic submissions via Manuscript Central should be received by 15 March 2004 to receive full consideration. Instructions on the submission process and the magazine guidelines on style and presentation can be found on the Author Guidelines page. In addition to full-length submissions, we also invite work-in-progress submissions of 250 words or less. These will not be peer-reviewed, but will be edited by the staff into a feature for the issue. The deadline for work-in- progress submissions is 1 May 2004.

just for your information -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop Announcement -- Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management' Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 14:08:01 -0500 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu At http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/#upcoming you will find an Announcement and Call for Abstracts for a workshop on 'Cross-Layer Issues in the Design of Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Integration of Communication and Networking Functions to Support Optimal Information Management'. The workshop is being organized under the auspices of Task Group 12 of the NATO Research and Technology Organization's Information Systems Technology Panel ( http://www.valcartier.drdc-rddc.gc.ca/tgonimdg/ ). It will take place on 2-3 June 2004 at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. The workshop will address the challenge of 'top-to-bottom' information management in disadvantaged (unreliable, low bandwidth or energy-constrained) mobile wireless military communication networks. Crucial issues relating to communication and networking in hostile environments span the entire layered structure from the physical layer up through the session layer. The conventional way to implement networks is to use a strictly layered structure, in which these issues are addressed separately, while defining interfaces to higher and lower layer functions. Although such an approach may be appropriate for wired networks, the characteristics of wireless networks suggest that improved performance may be obtained by addressing these issues in a coordinated (or "cross-layer") fashion. This workshop will address alternative approaches to various aspects of the communication/networking problem, and will assess the potential benefits that may be achieved through the vertical integration of layer functionality, with emphasis on improved collaboration with user applications to achieve optimal information management over a disadvantaged network. The topic will be of interest to military or scientific personnel concerned with the efficient use of limited resources in disadvantaged communications environments.

We *TRULY* apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers. *********************************************************************** PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS MobiQuitous 2004 http://www.mobiquitous.org The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services August 22-25, 2004 Boston, Massachusetts, USA (ACM sponsorship pending) *********************************************************************** 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 first ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous 04) 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.
