The 8th International Workshop on Managing Ubiquitous Communications and Services (MUCS 2011) will be held as a 1 day workshop on March 21st 2011, as part of the 9th Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications - PerCom 2011 in Seattle, USA (21-25 March 2011).

Scope of the MUCS Workshop

Ubiquitous Communications and Services, as evidenced in pervasive computing and smart space applications, present significant management challenges for the 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, and 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 collocated with major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the theoretical, 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 program 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Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.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 2011.

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.
