The 7th International Workshop on Managing Ubiquitous Communications and Services (MUCS 2010) will be held as a 1 day workshop as part of the 8th Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications - PerCom 2010 in Mannheim Germany (March 29th to April 2nd 2010).

Scope of the MUCS Workshop

Ubiquitous Communications and Services, as evidenced in pervasive computing and 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. Today’s management systems need to keep pace with the complexity, heterogeneity and automation required by the pervasive computing vision.

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. The goal of the workshop is to investigate the state of the art in managing pervasive/smart space applications from a broad perspective.

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Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.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 2010.

Authors are requested to submit papers limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines. The templates can be found here.

Please submit your paper here: EDAS

No-shows of accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers NOT being included in the IEEE Digital Library.
