[Mycolleagues] Call for Papers deadline approaching: MUCS 2009, as part of ICAC 2009

=====================================================================
6th IEEE International Workshop on
Management of Ubiquitous Communications and Services (MUCS 2009) -
http://www.ubiquitous-management.org/mucs/index.php

Date and Venue: June 15, 2009 in Barcelona, Spain, as part
of 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and
Communications - ICAC 2009
http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/

Submission: February 6th 2009
=====================================================================
Scope of the MUCS Workshop

Smart space applications, present significant management challenges
for successful delivery of highly adaptive services across
heterogeneous networks, mobile networks, ad-hoc networks, middleware,
applications and devices. Such challenges include: managing user
centric services and context services, extreme distribution and
scalability, extensive system & network & semantic heterogeneity, ad
hoc formation and disassociation of systems and services, intelligent
support for user centric applications.

To address these issues, new and innovative management solutions need
to be realized. Such approaches need to support greater levels of
autonomy within the management of systems, services and networks.
However such new-style management needs to be informed by and operate
within the scope of business, operational and environmental
constraints and policies. A key element of greater acceptance and
impact of pervasive management across application domains will be the
degree of user empowerment they offer, balanced against the ever
increasing need for greater management automation.

Since 2003, the MUCS workshop (both independently and aligned with
major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for
researchers and practitioners to explore the theoretic, technological
and organizational challenges, and to present advances in management
techniques and technologies, for pervasive computing and smart space
applications.

The workshop provides a single-track scientific programme containing a
blend of keynote presentations from leaders in research in this area,
peer-reviewed papers and a small selection of invited presentations.
