The Sixth International Conference on Mobile Services, Resources, and Users MOBILITY 2016 May 22 - 26, 2016 - Valencia, Spain |
| Call for Papers |
Users increasingly rely on devices in different mobile scenarios and situations. "Everything is mobile", and mobility is now ubiquitous. Services are supported in mobile environments, through smart devices and enabling software. While there are well known mobile services, the extension to mobile communities and on-demand mobility requires appropriate mobile radios, middleware and interfacing. Mobility management becomes more complex, but is essential for every business. Mobile wireless communications, including vehicular technologies bring new requirements for ad hoc networking, topology control and interface standardization.
MOBILITY 2016 continues a series of events dedicated to mobility-at-large, dealing with challenges raised by mobile services and applications considering user, device and service mobility.
We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.
Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
