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


In cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE
An ACM SIGCOMM 2010 workshop
New Delhi, India (August 30, 2010)



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):

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 is available here: http://mobile.cod.cs.duke.edu/hotcrp

Call for posters/demos

MobiHeld 2010 will host a poster/demo session that will allow participants to showcase their latest research prototypes involving mobile handhelds. Demos should be standalone: you should not expect any local support, including Internet connectivity.

Submissions should be in 2 parts:

Submissions must be made electronically in an email message to the Poster/Demo Chair at mobiheld-demo-posters@cs.ucsd.edu. The subject of the email should be "MobiHeld: Poster/Demo submission"

All submissions will be acknowledged via return email. If you do not receive an acknowledgement email, please email us directly at nilanb AT uark.edu and yuvraj AT cs.ucsd.edu.

Any queries concerning the posters/demo session can be sent to the poster/demo chairs at mobiheld-demo-posters@cs.ucsd.edu

Authors with papers under review for the MobiHeld 2010 workshop are strongly encouraged to submit a related demo. If appropriate and desired, we will consider a demo presentation without a published abstract. Please contact us if you wish to take this route.
