Mobile Computing'06 Main Page

International Symposium on Mobile Computing

within the International Conference on Wireless Networks, Communications, and Mobile Computing (WirelessCom'06)

Toronto, Canada

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Recent years have witnessed an enormous growth in the development and applications of mobile computing environments and devices. Many practitioners envision a future empowered with context- and location-aware computation and communication infrastructures that allow users to access data and services at any place and any time. Compared to conventional platforms, the mobility of computing nodes introduces many challenges to the design of almost all systems components.

This symposium will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on mobile computing systems. Original papers are invited in the broader area of mobile computing. Papers must report high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Adaptive resource management
Architecture and infrastructure support
Context-aware computing
Data consistency and synchronization protocols
Development platforms and environments
Efficient localization techniques
Emerging mobile applications
Middleware
Mobile agents
Mobile commerce
Mobile peer to peer
Operating system support for mobile computing
Performance metrics and studies
Pervasive computing
Power-aware computing and communication
Quality of service
Robust ad-hoc networking techniques
Security and privacy issues
Time-constrained mobile systems
Wearable computing devices and systems
Web caching and services
Wireless sensor networks

PAPER SUBMISSION

Original papers are solicited and must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference or journal.
Prospective authors should submit their paper electronically through the general WirelessCom'06 submission server.
All papers are limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE double-column format.
