CALL FOR PAPERS

MobiCom 2008

The Fourteenth Annual International Conference

on Mobile Computing and Networking

September 14-19, 2007

San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA

http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2008/

Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE

ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to

addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and

wireless and mobile networking. It has served as an exciting

international forum since 1995, addressing networks, systems,

algorithms, and applications that support the symbiosis of mobile

computers and wireless networks. This year, we will continue

this tradition, but we especially encourage the submission of papers

in the experimental systems area. This area has seen exciting

developments in recent years and explicit efforts will be taken to

represent it strongly at MobiCom this year.

Authors are invited to submit full papers, challenges papers, student

posters, and research demos and exhibits, presenting new research

related to the theory or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless

and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research,

not published or currently under review for another conference or

journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and

networking

* Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility,

limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity

* Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking

* Wireless and mobile techniques for delay tolerant, mobile ad hoc,

and wireless sensor networks

* Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems

* Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, PANs)

* Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks

* Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO,

directional antennas, and software radios

* Techniques for dynamic spectrum use

* Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless

networks and their integration in the Internet

* Modeling, measurement and simulation of mobile networks

* Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks

* Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols,

and systems

* Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related

systems and protocols
