Overview
MobiSys 2003 seeks to present innovative,
significant research in the area of mobile systems. This will be a
2.5-day conference, featuring refereed paper presentations, demos,
poster sessions, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.
Topics
The conference addresses systems issues in mobile
computing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems
- Experience with mobile systems
- Operating systems for small devices
- System-level energy management for mobile devices
- Middleware and service architectures for mobile applications
- Systems for location awareness and determination
- Data management for mobile applications
- Personal-area networks and systems
- Resource discovery of mobile services
- Applications and services supporting the mobile user
- Personal mobility
- Disconnected and weakly connected operation
- Security, privacy, authorization, and billing
- Infrastructure support for mobility
- Proxies and data adaptation
- Wearable and handheld devices
- Social and economic aspects of mobility
- Mobile agents
- User interfaces, programming interfaces, and applications for small
devices
MobiSys is not an appropriate forum for research focused narrowly on
the routing, link, or physical network layers, although papers
describing larger mobile architectures that include work on these areas
may be appropriate. Please feel free to contact the Program Chairs at
mobisyschairs@mit.edu to determine appropriateness.
Best Paper Award
An award will be given at the conference for
the best paper overall.
What To Submit
The full paper deadline has been extended to Oct. 14th. If you intend to make use of this
extension, submit the abstract of your paper by the original deadline
of Oct. 7th so that we can begin to assign appropriate reviewers.
Submissions should be full papers, 12-14
single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and
references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point
(single-spaced) leading.
Submissions must be "blind", meaning authors must not be identified
in the submissions, either explicitly or by implication (e.g., through
the references or acknowledgments).
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness.
Submissions are due on October 7, 2002. Accepted papers may be
shepherded through an editorial review process by a member of the
program committee. Based on initial feedback from the program
committee, authors of shepherded papers will submit an editorial
revision of their paper to their program committee shepherd by February
4, 2003. The shepherd will review the paper and give the author
additional comments. All authors (shepherded or not) will produce a
final camera-ready paper by March 4, 2003, for the conference
Proceedings.
MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers
must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or
publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that
accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers
accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and
will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions will be held
in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings,
both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U.S. Copyright Act of
1976.
How To Submit
Authors are required to submit full papers by
October 7, 2002. All submissions to MobiSys 2003 must be electronic, in
PDF or PostScript.
Please use this Web submission form.
Authors will be notified of receipt of submission via e-mail. If
you do not receive notification, contact the Program Chairs at
mobisyschairs@mit.edu.
Poster Sessions
Do you have interesting work you would like
to share, or a cool idea that is not ready to be published? Poster
sessions are for you! Poster sessions, scheduled during the technical
sessions, introduce new or ongoing work. The MobiSys audience provides
valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in
presentations of student work. To submit a poster, please send a
proposal, one page or less, by February 1, 2003, to the poster session
coordinator at mobisysposter@mit.edu.
Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions
(BoFs) are very informal gatherings organized by attendees interested in
a particular topic. BoFs will be held in the evenings. BoFs may be
scheduled in advance by phoning the Conference Office at +1.510.528.8649
or via email to conference@usenix.org. BoFs may also be scheduled at
the conference.
Registration Materials
Complete program and registration
information will be available in February 2003 on the conference Web
site. The information will be in both HTML and a printable PDF file.
If you would like to receive the program booklet in print, please email
your request, including your postal address, to:
conference@usenix.org.
