MobiHeld 2010 - MobiHeld 2010 ? The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Networking, Systems, and Applications on Mobile Handhelds

MobiHeld 2010 ? The Second ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Networking, Systems, and Applications on Mobile Handhelds
The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to MobiHeld 2010, co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2010 in New Delhi, India. The workshop program will consist of technical talks, and a poster/demo session. Please see individual calls for papers, posters, and demos, below.

Call for Papers
Mobile handhelds are the computing and communications devices that will pervade the lives of users worldwide, much more than desktop-based systems. Mobile handhelds come in many forms, including traditional cellular phones, smart phones, music players, electronic book readers, and watch computers. In recent years, the use of mobile handhelds has grown tremendously, as has the functionality for programmers. This platform will likely change the computing and communications landscape in radical ways in the years to come. With the increasing capabilities of these devices come increasing challenges spanning a wide range of domains: in the design of effective networking mechanisms, in application design, in user interface design, in energy efficiency, and in management of these devices.

The goal of the second MobiHeld workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to investigate challenges in designing and utilizing this platform for the Internet of tomorrow.

Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following (all of which are in the context of mobile handhelds):
Wireless protocols and services, especially dealing with limited power, limited bandwidth, and unpredictable connectivity of mobile handhelds
Design, implementation, and evaluation of services for mobile handhelds
Security, privacy, and trust for mobile handhelds
New applications for mobile handhelds
Mobile handheld management
Energy management
Virtualized services
Cloud-based services
Emerging applications, including media applications
Social networking using mobile handhelds
User interface issues
Operating systems and middleware support
Multi-radio mobile handhelds
Platforms and testbeds for experimenting with mobile handhelds
All submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. The workshop will accept papers describing completed work as well as work-in-progress, so long as the promise of the approach is demonstrated. Radical and controversial ideas are strongly encouraged.

Submission Instructions
Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages in length and in pdf format. Reviews will be single-blind: authors names and affiliations should be included in the submission. Submissions must follow the other formatting guidelines here.

To facilitate authors to better illustrate various aspects of their systems, we are encouraging authors to create easy-to-view videos demonstrating their system, and to post them on either public websites (such as YouTube) or private ones (in their own webspace). The authors can indicate the URL of such videos in the submitted papers if they would like the reviewers to view them, as part of the evaluation process. In addition, authors are also encouraged to submit their work to the demo session.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.

The submission site will be available here in the near future.
