CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on System Support for Future Mobile Computing Applications (FUMCA 06)

September 17, 2006, Newport Beach Marriott Hotel, Irvine, California, USA http://research.nokia.com/events/workshops/ubicomp2006

SPONSORED BY Nokia ( http://research.nokia.com)

To be held in conjunction with the Eighth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UBICOMP 2006) http://www.ubicomp.org

************************************************************************************************************

Development, deployment, and usage of mobile services and applications typically require extensive compiler and runtime support (i.e., system support) from all the different layers of a mobile device’s system software. System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently.

This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective. The ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating future system platforms for next-generation mobile computing applications. Submitted papers must be original work with no substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings.

TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - System support infrastructures, services, middleware, and tools; - Supporting functional and non-functional requirements (dependability, resource consumption, portability across heterogeneous devices, hw/sw personalization, QoS); - Runtime and programming language abstractions; - Support for system-, context-, and location-awareness; - Multi-platform solutions and runtime platform interworking; - OS support and integration between runtime platforms and native OS; - Usability, user acceptance and social impact of system support on nomadic end-users, 3rd party developers, and/or device designers and manufactures; - Supporting novel HCI paradigms, programming models, and design methodologies; - Supporting novel user interfaces and novel display (e.g., omni directional 3D displays, power-aware displays) and audio-rendering devices

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submission should include either a short or a full position paper including names and contact information of the authors. - Full papers should be at most 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style (two-column, single space, using 10-point font and 1-inch margins) including all figures and references; - Short papers should be at most 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style.

Submissions must be made electronically in non-editable PDF or Postscript format by sending an email to fumca2006@nokia.com by June 16, 2006. Submission implies the acceptance that at least one author will register to the main conference and present the paper if accepted. The selection process will involve peer reviews and reviews by program committee members. The papers will be selected for the workshop based upon their originality, technical soundness, and relevance to the field of system support for future mobile computing applications. Notification of acceptance will be sent to contact authors by July 24, 2006. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to provide the camera-ready version of the paper by August 8, 2006.

All Accepted papers (both full and short papers) will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Best papers will be selected for post-workshop publication into a special issue of a highly respected scientific journal.

IMPORTANT DATES - EXTENDED Submission Deadline: June 25, 2006 - Acceptance Notification: July 24, 2006 - Camera-ready version due: August 8, 2006 - Workshop: September 17, 2006 - UbiComp Main Conference: September 19-21, 2006
