Scope
 
The advances in wireless communication technologies and the proliferation of mobile devices have enabled the realization of intelligent environments for people and machines to communicate with each other, interact with information-processing devices, and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of networks and systems everywhere, anytime. A key enabler of these pervasive and ubiquitous connectivity environments is the advancement of software technology in various communication sectors, ranging from communication middleware and operating systems to networking protocols and applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

– Mobile middleware enabling machine-to-machine communication
– Mobile crowdsourcing and people-centric collaborative sensing
– Big data from mobile sensors-generated data streams
– 5G and beyond networks
– Big data and machine learning for networks
– Dynamic spectrum sharing
– Energy efficiency in networks
– Information security and privacy
– Information-centric networking
– Localization and location-based services
– Software-defined networking
– Vehicular networks
– Middleware-aware big data platforms and services
– Data-intensive services for next-generation middleware
– Smart space/city middleware and applications
– Uncertain and imprecise information processing over middleware
– Mobile Middleware services for big data access
– Middleware for mobile cloud computing (e.g., seamless offloading)
– Novel mechanisms for wireless-sensor and home networks
– QoS awareness, adaptation, and fault-tolerance of mobile services
– Modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of mobile wireless systems
– Trustworthiness, security, and privacy of mobile and wireless systems
– Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and store-carry-forward techniques for mobile and wireless networking
– Location/context-dependent support and services
– Energy-efficient applications, services, and middleware
– Mobility and handoff management

Publication

Selected papers will be considered to be included in the following journals: Mobile Networks and Applications, Wireless Networks, and more journals upcoming...
All registered papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.
Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Ei Compendex, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

Paper submission

Papers should be in English.
Regular Papers: 10 – 20 pages.
Short papers: 6 – 10 pages.
Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review.

Papers will be judged on originality, correctness, clarity and relevance. Submitted papers must be original work, and may not be under consideration for another conference or journal. We reserve the right to exclude papers accepted but not presented from the conference proceedings submitted for archiving and indexing.
