Call for Special Sessions and Workshops

MOBILIGHT 2010

10-12 May 2010 | Barcelona, Spain

CALL FOR PROPOSALS:

Following the successful track of special sessions and workshops held during the last MOBILIGHT edition, MOBILIGHT 2010 welcomes half/full-day-length special sessions and workshops gravitating around interdisciplinary research on mobile lightweight systems, emphasizing on (but not limited to) the following triplet:

• Wireless/Mobile Technology Trends and Solutions (including WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as related architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the communication facility
• Actual and Emerging Services & related Facilities, in the vision of “always on” requirements.
  
• Business models, opportunities and solutions for an efficient market deployment.
  

Proposals should focus on more specific research fields than the main conference, gathering specialized audience and researchers with joint interests and expertise.

Proposals on emerging topics that are likely to generate significant interest and impact in the research community will be highly preferred. Proposals closely related to ongoing related projects within the current 7th Framework Programme (FP7) are strongly encouraged. Workshops and special sessions will be held in conjunction with the main track of the conference.

Related papers will be published by Springer in the full MOBILIGHT Conference Proceedings and made available online through Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST). Selected high-quality papers will be invited to Special Issues in prestigious International Journals.

Interested contributors should fill this form and submit it to the Workshops/Special Sessions co-chairs of MOBILIGHT 2010 [Dr. Javier (Javi) Del Ser (jdelser@robotiker.es) and Dr. Ioannis Chochliouros (ichochliouros@oteresearch.gr)].

Proposals should be sent with the following subject line:

“[MOBILIGHT2010] Special session/workshop proposal (name of proposal)”

and received by December 14, 2009. Acceptance of the received proposals will be decided and notified by December 21, 2010.
