In-cooperation with ACM SIGAPP and SIGBED

## Paper Submission 
Due: June 27th, 2016

## Proceedings will be publushed by ACM and will be 
submitted for inclusion in ACM Digital 
Library.


Scope:

Despite the 
considerable research effort in the area of Ubiquitous Computing over the past 
decade,
and the maturity of some of its base technologies, many challenges 
persist. The goal of the 13th
Annual International Conference on Mobile and 
Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services
(MobiQuitous 2016) is 
to provide
a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research in 
the
field at international level, involving practitioners and researchers 
from diverse backgrounds.
MobiQuitous 2016 will thus foster research 
collaboration through focused discussions, interaction
and exchange of 
experiences that will designate future research efforts and directions. 
Areas
addressed by the conference include systems, applications, social 
networks, middleware, networking,
data management and services, all with 
special focus on mobility and ubiquitous 
computing.


Topics:

We 
solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, 
not currently 
under review by another conference or journal, pertaining to 
the Internet of Things and Ubiquitous
Systems, broadly conceived. Submissions 
should clearly identify how they relate to issues on mobile
and ubiquitous 
systems. Contributions describing an overall working system and reporting real 
world
deployment experiences are particularly of interest. Topics include, 
but are not limited to the
following:

- Wireless Access 
Technologies
- Networked Sensing, and Applications
- Mobile Device 
Architectures
- Mobile Systems and Applications
- Mobile Data Management 
and Analytics
- Mobile Multimedia
- Mobile User Interfaces and Interaction 
Technologies
- Mobile User Experience
- Toolkit, and Languages for Mobile 
Computing
- Energy Aware Mobile Computing
- Mobile Cloud Computing
- 
Semantic Web Technologies
- Localization and Tracking
- Internet of 
Things
- Crowdsourcing
- Participatory Sensing
- Social Network 
Applications to Mobile Computing
- Context and Location Aware Applications 
and Services
-
Wearable Computing
- Body Area Networks
- Security and 
Privacy 


Industry Track 
Papers

The MobiQuitous industry track provides practitioners and 
contributors from the industry and 
academia with an opportunity to publish 
experience reports of potential interest to the 
researcher and practitioner 
communities. Industry experience reports describe the stories
and outcomes 
(positive or negative) of developing, evaluating or deploying software 
engineering
technologies, ideas, practices, tools, processes, or methods in 
an industrial setting.
The submission should include information on the 
setting, provide motivation, explain the events
leading to the outcomes, 
including the challenges faced, summarize the outcomes, and conclude
with 
lessons learned, take-away messages, and advice based on the experience 
described and lessons
learned.


At least one contributing author must 
be from industry.


Submission 
Instructions & Publications

Authors are invited to submit:
- 
regular papers (i.e., main track papers): up to 10 pages (ACM double column), 
and 
- industry track papers: up to 8 pages (double column)

The 
detailed guidelines will be available on the conference website.
Visit 
http://mobiquitous.org/2016/ for the latest 
information.

The proceedings will be published by ACM and will be 
submitted for inclusion in ACM 
Digital Library.

It will also be 
submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: 
Thomson
Scientific-ISI, Scopus, Crossref, Google Scholar, DBLP, Microsoft 
Academic Search (MAS),
CiteSeerX, EBSCO, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, as 
well as ICST's own EU Digital Library
(EUDL).

The authors of the best 
papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to
a 
special issue in the Mobile Networks & Applications (MONET) 
journal.

In addition, any authors who presented their papers in 
Mobiquitous 2016 can submit the extended 
versions to the IEEE Access Special 
Section or EAI endorsed transactions (http://eai.eu/transactions)

We reserve 
the right to exclude papers accepted but not presented from the 
conference
proceedings submitted for archiving and
