MOBISYS 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS

5th ACM/USENIX International Conference on Mobile Computing systems, Applications, and Services Puerto Rico 11-15 June 2007 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2007/

MobiSys 2007 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems, applications, and services. This conference builds on the success of the previous four MobiSys conferences. It is jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and the USENIX Association.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract registrations due: 27 November 2006 (23:59 EST) Full papers due: 4 December 2006 (23:59 EST) Notification of paper acceptance: 9 March 2007 Final camera-ready papers due: 6 April 2007

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. We value results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at mobisys_pcchairs@acm.org. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile and wireless systems * Middleware and service architectures for mobile and wireless applications * Data management for mobile and wireless applications * Operating systems for resource-constrained mobile devices * Disconnected and weakly connected operation * Proxies and data adaptation * Mobile agents * Infrastructure support for mobility * Security and privacy in mobile and wireless systems * System-level energy management for mobile and wireless devices * Wearable and handheld devices in the context of system design * Personal-area networks and systems * Cyber foraging and resource discovery for mobile services * Systems for context sensing and context awareness * Tools and design methodologies for building mobile and wireless systems * Mobile computing support for pervasive computing * User interfaces and usability issues for mobile and wireless applications * Experience with mobile and wireless systems

Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee.

MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review.

Abstracts of papers are due by 23:59 EST on Monday, November 27, 2006. Full papers are due by 23:59 EST on Monday, December 4, 2006. These are hard deadlines; no extensions will be granted.
