### paper submission due: June 27th, 2016 ###

----------------------------------
Scope:

Despite the considerable research effort in the area of Ubiquitous Computing
over the past decade, and the maturity of some of its base technologies,
many challenges persist.
The goal of the 13th
Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:
Computing, Networking and Services
(MobiQuitous 2016) is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing
high-quality research in the field at international level, involving
practitioners and researchers from diverse backgrounds.
MobiQuitous 2016 will thus foster research collaboration through focused
discussions, interaction and exchange of experiences that will designate
future research efforts and directions. Areas addressed by the conference
include systems, applications, social networks, middleware, networking, data
management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous
computing.

----------------------------------
Topics:

We solicit technical papers describing original, previously unpublished
research, not currently under review by another conference or journal,
pertaining to the Internet of Things and Ubiquitous Systems, broadly
conceived. Submissions should clearly identify how they relate to issues on
mobile and ubiquitous systems. Contributions describing an overall working
system and reporting real world deployment experiences are particularly of
interest. Topics include, but are not limited to the
following:

- Wireless Access Technologies
- Networked Sensing, and Applications
- Mobile Device Architectures
- Mobile Systems and Applications
- Mobile Data Management and Analytics
- Mobile Multimedia
- Mobile User Interfaces and Interaction Technologies
- Mobile User Experience
- Toolkit, and Languages for Mobile Computing
- Energy Aware Mobile Computing
- Mobile Cloud Computing
- Semantic Web Technologies
- Localization and Tracking
- Internet of Things
- Crowdsourcing
- Participatory Sensing
- Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing
- Context and Location Aware Applications and Services
- Wearable Computing
- Body Area Networks
- Security and Privacy

The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version
of their work to a special issue in the Mobile Networks & Applications
(MONET) journal.

----------------------------------
Call for Workshops

The MobiQuitous conference caters for a limited number of workshops on
dedicated session topics. The aim of these workshops is to discuss work in
progress and explore opportunities for new research related to a topic of
interest within the context of the conference.

Proposals will be evaluated regarding relevance and anticipated interest,
and should include Workshop title, presenter information, abstract, and
intended audience.

----------------------------------
Industry Track Papers

The MobiQuitous industry track provides practitioners and contributors from
the industry and academia with an opportunity to publish experience reports
of potential interest to the researcher and practitioner communities.
Industry experience reports describe the stories and outcomes (positive or
negative) of developing, evaluating or deploying software engineering
technologies, ideas, practices, tools, processes, or methods in an
industrial setting.
The submission should include information on the setting, provide
motivation, explain the events leading to the outcomes, including the
challenges faced, summarize the outcomes, and conclude with lessons learned,
take-away messages, and advice based on the experience described and lessons
learned.

At least one contributing author must be from industry.
