-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Seventh IEEE Workshop
on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series
of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications,
systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art
technologies. WMCSA's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting
and discussing new directions or controversial approaches.
We solicit submissions
of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems
and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional
approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion.
We are particularly interested in the following topic areas, although
papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility
are also welcome:
- Operating system and
distributed systems support for mobile computing
- Coordination, aggregation,
and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices
- Novel applications
and environments supporting mobility
- HCI issues related
to mobile computing
- Security and privacy
of mobile computing
- Management, configuration,
and deployment of systems supporting mobility
Submissions describing
new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the
technology is being used or integrated into a system or application.
WMCSA 2006 will be a
highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon
originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood
of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Please do not
submit abbreviated versions of papers to be submitted within the
next year to a conference or journal.
To encourage an atmosphere
conducive to participation, attendance will be limited. Authors
of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first
priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis.
A small number of graduate students will be granted a waiver of
the registration fee. Waiver proposal submission instructions will
be posted when available on the web site.
Paper Submission Instructions
The paper
submissions site is now open and will close on 16 Oct 05
at 23:59:59 PDT.
Submissions should contain
6 or fewer U.S letter pages in PDF format. Papers should be single
column using 12pt font. The conference proceedings will be published
by the IEEE, and we hope to publish a digest of the workshop in
a relevant journal. As is customary, papers must not have been published
elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another
venue.
Demonstrations
To further stimulate
discussion, we welcome researchers who would like to demonstrate
working prototypes of their systems. Instructions for submitting
demo proposals will be posted when available on the web site.
