Call for Papers
(plain text version)
The 6th International Workshop on Ubiquitous Communications and Services (MUCS 2009) will be held on June 15, 2009 in Barcelona, Spain as part of .
Scope of the MUCS Workshop
Smart space applications, present significant management challenges for successful delivery of highly adaptive services across heterogeneous networks, mobile networks, ad-hoc networks, middleware, applications and devices. Such challenges include: managing user centric services and context services, extreme distribution and scalability, extensive system & network & semantic heterogeneity, ad hoc formation and disassociation of systems and services, intelligent support for user centric applications.
To address these issues, new and innovative management solutions need to be realized. Such approaches need to support greater levels of autonomy within the management of systems, services and networks. However such new-style management needs to be informed by and operate within the scope of business, operational and environmental constraints and policies. A key element of greater acceptance and impact of pervasive management across application domains will be the degree of user empowerment they offer, balanced against the ever increasing need for greater management automation.
Since 2003, the MUCS workshop (both independently and aligned with major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the theoretic, technological and organizational challenges, and to present advances in management techniques and technologies, for pervasive computing and smart space applications.
The workshop provides a single-track scientific programme containing a blend of keynote presentations from leaders in research in this area, peer-reviewed papers and a small selection of invited presentations.
Topics
Paper Submission
Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to MUCS 2009. Authors are requested to submit either long papers or short papers (work-in-progress reports), in 10 point following IEEE conference style (Camera ready formats will be aligned with the host conference requirements):
Submissions exceeding the above mentioned paper size will not be reviewed and returned to the authors. Please see for detailed instructions.
