Special Session on MOBILe Wireless MiddleWARE, Operating Systems, and Applications

Scope

 

The recent advances in wireless communications and the proliferation of powerful mobile devices have enabled smart cyber-physical environments where people and devices can seamlessly interact and where mass-market users are willing to receive/contribute to a wide range of mobile services, everywhere and anytime. 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 application domains to dynamic offloading to cloud resources, only to mention a few.

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

• New middleware concepts for mobile devices
• Mobile middleware enabling machine-to-machine communication
• Mobile crowdsourcing and people-centric collaborative sensing
• Big data and cloud computing scalable processing of mobile sensors-generated datastreams
• Smart space/city middleware and applications
• Middleware for mobile cloud computing (e.g., seamless offloading)
• Novel mechanisms, algorithms, middleware, and applications for wireless sensor networks, vehicular networks, and home networks
• End-to-end architectures for seamless ubiquitous service provisioning and deployment
• Synergic integration of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks
• QoS awareness, adaptation, and fault-tolerance of mobile services
• Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and store-carry-forward techniques for mobile and wireless networking
• Location/context-dependent support and services, also with Quality of Context awareness
• Energy-efficient applications, services, and middleware
• Mobility and handoff management
• Human-computer interface and portable 3D graphics for mobile devices
• Modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of mobile wireless systems and services
• Trustworthiness, security, and privacy of mobile and wireless systems
• Thin client technologies, Mobile Web APIs, BONDI, WAC, HTML5
• Impact of IMS, RCS, RCS-e, EPC and LTE on the evolution of mobile middleware
