---------------------------------- 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We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, pertaining to the Internet of Things and Ubiquitous Systems, broadly conceived.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 indexing.
