CALL FOR PAPERS

PhoneCom 2013: The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Sensing, Networking, and Computing with Smartphones http://phonecom.org In conjunction with IEEE CPSCom 2013 Beijing, China, 20 - 23 August, 2013

Smartphones have now truly become a ubiquitous computing device, a computer that the late Mark Weiser envisioned in his ubiquitous computing manifesto. Many applications that could only have been dreamed of, have now become a reality due to the high computing resources, display and networking capabilities of smartphones. With applications ranging from productivity, entertainment, enterprise, social networking, communications and mixed reality, the smartphone is the "swiss army knife" of it all. However, there are still many untapped elements and unlimited possibilities that smartphones can provide that have not been explored much in detail. In this workshop, we will explore how smartphones can help enable cyber-physical computing, that bridges the gap between the physical and the virtual world and also enable social computing by creating mobile social networks, social networks that are built around the interactions of mobile phones.

The PhoneCom 2013 workshop is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of smartphone computing, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, evaluation, practical implementations and applications. The workshop aims to attract and bring together mobile computing, cyber-physical computing, ubiquitous computing, social computing, wireless networking and communications researchers along with user interface designers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds.

The workshop will be a full day workshop. Besides research paper presentations, the workshop will feature an Invited Talk (keynote) and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Beijing, China in August 2013, in conjunction with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom 2013) (http://www.china-iot.net/CPSCom2013.htm).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones - Mobile social computing with smartphones - Mobile ad hoc networking with smartphones - Mobile cloud computing with smartphones - Cyber-physical systems that use smartphones - Augmented reality using smartphones - Ubiquitous computing with smartphones - Cyber-physical sensing with smartphones - Mining the cyber-physical world with data collected and generated by smartphones - Integrating social context and social media in smartphones - Novel applications on/with smartphones

IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Submission Deadline: April 20, 2013 Author Notification: May 20, 2013 Final Manuscript: June 14, 2013 Workshop date: TBA

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.
