MobilWare 2014 - The 7th Annual International Conference on Mobile Wireless Middleware, Operating Systems, and Applications

7th International Conference on MOBILe Wireless MiddleWARE, Operating Systems, and Applications
Special Annual Theme
"Mobile Middleware: Connecting Sensors, Clouds and Big Data"
Scope
Recent advances in wireless communications, the proliferation of powerful mobile devices and cloud services have enabled smart cyber-physical environments and mobile clouds where people and devices can seamlessly interact and mass-market users are willing to receive/contribute to a wide range of mobile services, everywhere and anytime, while interacting with massive amounts of big data. A key enabler of these pervasive ubiquitous environments is the advancement of software and middleware technologies in various mobile-related sectors, ranging from effective synergic management of wireless communications to mobility/adaptivity support in operating systems, from horizontal support to crowdsourcing in different domains to dynamic offloading to cloud resources as part of big data, only to mention a few. The middleware connecting sensors, clouds and big-data remains challenge.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
New middleware concepts for mobile devices
New middlware to support rich space of networked sensor system
Mobile middleware enabling machine-to-machine communication
Mobile crowdsourcing and people-centric collaborative sensing
Big data from mobile sensors-generated data streams
