| | 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Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical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
