| | Scope | |
Wireless communications are becoming increasingly pervasive, as the number
and spreading of portable wireless-equipped devices are exponentially
increasing (ranging from smartphones to handheld game consoles, from
personal digital assistant and personal navigation devices to still and
video cameras). This results in an unprecedented request for lightweight,
wireless communication devices with excellent usability and performance as
well as the ability to support added-value services in a highly mobile
environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while
travelling, in a classroom, etc.).
Besides attractive business opportunities this opens up exciting research
and development areas.
This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing
communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to
support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and
fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in
the field of information and communication technologies.
The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 reliable network
availability and transparent access to "their own" personalized services.
In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed
to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference
will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers
coming from the diverse areas involved in lightweight wireless systems
design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences, and
thus realize cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academia,
research centers and industry.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical
papers to the following tracks:
TECHNOLOGIES & ARCHITECTURES
- Wireless communication standards (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16/WiMAX,
802.20, Bluetooth, ECMA-387, wireless USB, LTE-Advanced)
- Next generation mobile networks (including vehicular communication)
- Mobile multi-hop networks, ubiquitous coverage
- Ad hoc, sensor and cooperative networks
- Pervasive and wearable computing
- Green communication, energy saving
- Wireless transmission (multi-/single-carrier, multi-antenna, multi-user,
modulation, coding)
- Lightweight devices architecture
- Internetworking and interoperability
- Protocol stack design (layering, cross-layering)
- Cognitive radio and software defined radio
- Self-organization and cooperation
- Compact and power efficient RF architectures for wireless devices
MOBILE SERVICES
- Anytime, Anywhere, Any device
- Interactive multimedia
- Ambient assisted living
- Usability and HMI
- Location and context aware services
- Seamless roaming
- Emerging and next generation services
BUSINESS MODELS, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS
- Architectures deployment
- Service provisioning
- Value-added services
- Business models
- Next generation lightweight devices
- Industry perspectives and market evolution
- Users' needs and requirements
