The annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, is the
fifteenth in a series of annual conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas of mobile computing and
wireless and mobile networking. MobiCom 2009 will be
held in September in Beijing.
The MobiCom conference series serves as the premier international forum
addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile
computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference
focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking
at the link layer and above. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom09
will also include a set of workshops and tutorials, panels, research demos and
exhibits, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research
Competition. More information on these activities, including submission
deadlines, can be found at
http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2009/.
PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new
research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing
and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe
original research, not published or currently under review for another
conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited
to:
* Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems and
applications
* Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and
networking
* Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless
networking
* Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility,
limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity
* Wireless and mobile techniques for delay-tolerant, mobile ad hoc,
and wireless sensor networks
* Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless
systems
* Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, personal area networks)
* Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks
* Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO,
directional antennas, and software radios
* Techniques for dynamic spectrum use
* Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless
networks and their integration in the Internet
* Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems
* Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks
* Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols,
and systems
* Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related
systems and protocols
MobiCom09 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the
submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The
program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are
appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or
experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the
innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and
realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be
evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At
the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking
technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the
physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers
must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is
used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Wireless and mobile
networks are being used in a wide variety of application contexts,
such as sensor networks, pervasive computing, disruption tolerant
networking, and vehicular networks. Papers that describe research and
experimentation in such environments are encouraged, but the focus of
such papers should be on addressing challenges associated with
mobility and wireless networking.
The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers
will be published in the conference proceedings.
CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission
of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless
networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge
existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These
"challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that
may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future
research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work
are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an
exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight
and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges
papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be
part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom
proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission
procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must
start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the
Title."
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be
handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript
version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 12 pages
(8 pages for "Challenges" papers), in font size no smaller than 10
points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11
inches) with 1-inch margins. Detailed instructions on the paper
submission procedure and format will be available on the conference
web pages. The deadline for registering the title and the abstract of
the paper with our electronic submission system is March 5, 2009 and
the deadline for submitting the actual paper is March 12, 2009. All
submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through
double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are
withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the
paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or
substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for
any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper
submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at
mobicom09_pcchairs@acm.org.
