Dear Colleague,

On behalf of all the organizers, we are pleased to invite you to submit your papers to the Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture (MobiArch), which will be held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom from November 18-22, 2024, in Washington, D.C., USA.

Aim and Scope

The last two decades have witnessed an extremely fast evolution of network technologies and an steep growth in mobile data traffic. According to the latest edition of the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI), global mobile data traffic is projected to increase nearly three-fold from 2020 to 2025, reaching 184 exabytes per month by 2025. This growth is being fuelled by factors such as the proliferation of mobile devices, the increasing availability of high-speed mobile networks, and the growing adoption of data-intensive mobile applications. This trend is coming along with increased capabilities and intelligence of devices, hence offering great opportunities for research innovation and development.

Globally, 5G network deployments are becoming generalized, providing higher data speeds at low latency and enhanced throughput to handle more simultaneous connections without causing disruptions when compared with previous mobile generation. However, some issues and challenges have not been fully addressed in 5G mobile networks and they are attracting further research efforts like the emerging applications challenges that are pushing the required quality of service to extreme levels, the mobile edge computing issues for user mobility support in small cells, the tendency towards Open and smart RAN enabling interoperable interfaces, RAN virtualization and push embedded machine learning systems and artificial intelligence back end modules for an enhanced RAN intelligence. These challenges drive the need towards deep research on the next generation of mobile Internet system, the 6G, that would tackle these challenges while deliver new mobile services and defining the fundamental architectural components for the next generation mobile Internet.

ACM MobiArch 2024 will continue to serve as a forum for discussing recent research trends and future directions gathered around all aspects of mobile communication technologies and mobile Internet architectures, such as system and radio access challenges that have to be faced to implement reliable, optimized, and scalable mobile networked systems.

TOPICS

Key research topics include but are not limited to:

* Future Internet and next-generation mobile networking architectures * Resource orchestration in next-generation networks based on user mobility patterns * Mobile computing and networking architectures in beyond 5G and 6G * Joint communication, computing, networking and computing architecture design * Mobility patterns analysis in wireless networks * Mobility management for integrated terrestrial-satellite networks * Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning * Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models in mobile computing systems * Distributed/Federated/Split/Reinforcement learning in mobile networks * Data privacy preservation and cybersecurity in mobile networks * Information and Human-Centric Networking for mobile networks and mobile computing * Software defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) in support of B5G/6G * Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Terahertz wireless communications * Mobile internet architectures and technologies for connected autonomous vehicles and cooperative ITS * Next generation heterogenous radio access networks * Mobile internet architecture for massive and low-power IoT access and smart cities * Mobile data sensing and fusion for big machine to machine (M2M) data * Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) * Location management, positioning, and data management for wireless and mobility * Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support * Field trials, deployment and evaluation of innovative mobile Internet architectures * Blockchain application and SD-RAN systems * Predictability, reliability and time sensitiveness in next-generation mobile networks * New aggregation networks for supporting fronthaul / midhaul / backhaul of 6G scenarios

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must present original results.

Selected papers will be forward-looking, describe their relationship to existing work, and have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.

Submitted papers must be in PDF format, they should adhere to the ACM templates (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) and should contain no more than 6 pages long, two columns, with *no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts*, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 inches x 3.33 inches, a space of 0.33 inches between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column. For Latex users, please use​ /\documentclass[sigconf,10pt]{acmart}​/. But as an author, you bear the final responsibility to verify (manually or through the above online paper checker) that your submission is format-compliant.

Authors should prepare a PDF version of their full paper. All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind reviewing process, with the identities of the authors withheld from the reviewers.
