SCOPE
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 pervasive and ubiquitous
connectivity environments is the advancement of software technology in
various communication sectors, ranging from communication middleware and
operating systems to networking protocols and applications.
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, 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 field 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Original and unpublished research achievements in various aspects of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,
)
* Deployment and management supports for large-scale mobile services
* Policy, trust, security, and privacy issues for mobile wireless
networks
WORKSHOPS
Proposals for workshops/tutorials are solicited. Potential
workshop/tutorial organizers are requested to submit a proposal of at
most 5 pages, including a biographical sketch of each proponent, to the
Workshop/Tutorial Chair by December 1, 2008. Proposal evaluation will be
based on proponents' expertise and relevance of the subject
matter.
PUBLICATION
All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by technical program
committee members and invited reviewers. All accepted papers will be
published in the novel Springer Lecture Notes of ICST series and then be
included in major article indexing services. Extended versions of
selected papers from MOBILWARE09 will be published in a dedicated
special issue of the Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)
Journal.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All paper, poster, and workshop submissions will be handled
electronically. Please visit the Submission page at
