***********************************************************************
The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a
promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and
communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and
invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding
physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the
objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The
implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless
network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures
supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of
ubiquitous computing applications and services.
The second Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous
Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous-05) will cover all these
aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers
coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and
deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer
experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas
addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented
computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and
databases.
PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal,
are solicited. The conference is interested in contributions
addressing all the areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous
architectures, infrastructure and services. Technical works clearly
identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working
solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not
limited to, the following:
* Ubiquitous architectures and systems
* Wearable computing and personal area network
* Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee,
802.15.x, WiFi)
* Incentive-based deployment of ad hoc networks
* Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless network
* Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and
composition mechanisms
* Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
* Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
* Peer-to-peer knowledge management
* Emerging industrial/business scenarios
* Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile)
* Smart spaces
* Ad hoc and sensor networking
* Localization and tracking
* Context and location aware application
* Multimedia encoding and transcoding
* Middleware services
* Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems
* Hardware and software platforms for ubiquitous systems, and testbeds
* User interfaces
* Toolkits, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing
* Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled
electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should
prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) or postscript version of their
full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size,
8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must
be at least 10 points. The deadline for registering the title and the
abstract of the paper with our electronic submission system is February 16,
2005. The deadline for submitting the actual paper is February 23, 2005. All
deadlines are 11:59PM PST.
PUBLICATION: All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by
technical program committee members. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be
proposed for publication in a ACM/Kluwer MONET special issue.
WORKSHOPS: Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction
with the conference are solicited. A maximum of 2 pages should be
submitted which include the workshop name, its scope and a list of
topic of interests. Proposals should be submitted to both the
Workshop co-Chairs by December 17 2004.
DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A
maximum of 2 pages should be submitted which include a description of
the demo and needed resources from the conference
organizers. Proposals should be submitted to Dr. Ramiro Liscano (Demo
Chair) rliscano@ieee.org by May 29th, 2005.
