Hi all, If you are working on cool mobile applications in the context of emerging regions, please consider potentially submitting to MobiHeld 2011, a workshop on mobile handhelds systems and applications. This year Mobiheld is held in conjunction with SOSP. The past couple of years, it was held in conjunction with SIGCOMM. The CFP is attached. cheers Lakshmi [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] CALL FOR PAPERS MobiHeld 2011 - The Third ACM Workshop on Networking, Systems, and Applications on Mobile Handhelds In conjunction with ACM SOSP 2011 Cascais, Portugal Sunday, October 23, 2011 http://sosp2011.gsd.inesc-id.pt/workshops/mobiheld IMPORTANT DATES FOR PAPERS Paper submissions due: Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Notification of acceptance: Friday, July 15, 2011 Camera ready version due: Thursday, Aug 25, 2011 Workshop date: Sunday, October 23, 2011 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 * Mobile services in emerging regions 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 other formatting rules here. http://sosp2011.gsd.inesc-id.pt/submission-guidelines 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.
