The 4th International Conference on MobiSys 2006 seeks to present innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile and wireless systems, applications, and services. The conference will be held in early summer in the historic town of Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services Uppsala, Sweden. It builds on the success of the first three conferences held in San Francisco, Boston and Seattle. June 19-22, 2006 • Uppsala, Sweden SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Jointly sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE and The USENIX Assoc., We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. We value results and insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations. If you have any in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS questions regarding relevance or other submission-related issues, please contact the program chairs at [email protected]. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS • Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile • Wearable and handheld devices in the context of and wireless systems system design General Co-Chairs • Middleware and service architectures for mobile and • Personal mobility Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University, Sweden wireless applications • Personal-area networks and systems Lars-Åke Larzon, Uppsala University, Sweden • Data management for mobile and wireless applica- • Cyber foraging and resource discovery of mobile Steering Committee Chair tions services , Research • Operating Systems for resource-constrained mobile • Systems for context sensing and location awareness devices • Application interfaces and services supporting the Program Co-Chairs • Disconnected and weakly connected operation mobile user , Carnegie Mellon Univ., USA • Proxies and data adaptation • Tools and design methodologies for building mobile Nigel Davies, Lancaster University, UK • Mobile agents and wireless systems Program Committee • Infrastructure support for mobility • Mobile computing support for pervasive computing Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research, USA • Security, privacy, authorization, and billing • User interfaces and usability issues for mobile and Mary Baker, HP Labs, USA • System-level energy management for mobile and wireless applications Ramon Caceres, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA wireless devices • Experience with mobile and wireless systems Mark Corner, University of Massachusetts, USA Nigel Davies, Lancaster University, UK Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column Eyal de Lara, University of Toronto, Canada format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. Submissions will be judged on original- Carla Ellis, Duke University, USA ity, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the Adrian Friday, Lancaster University, UK program committee. Jason Hong, Carnegie Mellon University, USA MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published Anthony LaMarca, Intel Research Seattle, USA elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. Antonio Kruger, University of Munster, Germany As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Dushyanth Narayanan, Microsoft Research, UK Submissions are due Monday, November 28, 2005, 23:59 EST. This is a hard deadline, and no extensions will be granted. The Brian Noble, University of Michigan, USA submission process is electronic. All submissions must be in PDF format. See the conference web page for detailed instructions. Mahadev Satyanarayanan, Carnegie Mellon Univ., USA Rahul Sukthankar, Intel Research Pittsburgh, USA POSTER AND DEMO SESSIONS Roy Want, Intel Research, USA Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a great idea that is not quite ready to be published? Poster sessions are for Poster Chair you! Demos of working systems and applications are also encouraged. The MobiSys audience will provide valuable discussion and Ramon Caceres, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA feedback. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. See the conference web page for submission details. Demo Co-Chairs WORKSHOPS Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Inst. of , Sweden Ian Chakeres, Boeing Phantom Works, USA The ACM MobiSys 2006 conference will host a day of workshops on technical areas related to mobile systems, applications and services. SIGMOBILE invites workshop proposals from interested communities. New workshops in emerging areas that can engage Publicity Chair participants in greater interaction are welcome. See the conference web page for details. Alec Wolman, Microsoft Research
