CALL FOR PAPERS
The 8th International Conference on Mobile Network Software-ization and Mobile Middleware
14-16 November, 2017, Vienna, Austria
http://mobilware.org/2017/show/home
===========================================================================================================

*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.

*Conference topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- IoT and SDN in mobile networks
- Fog Computing in wired/wireless and mobile environments
- Fog/Cloud Computing service continuum
- Containerization support for mobile environments
- Security and privacy of mobile-based monitoring systems
- Big data and cloud computing scalable processing of mobile sensors-generated datastreams
- Applications and testbeds in vehicular networks, home networks, and Industrial IoT
- New middleware concepts for mobile devices
- Mobile middleware enabling machine-to-machine communication
- Mobile crowdsourcing and people-centric collaborative sensing
- Smart space/city middleware and applications
- Middleware for mobile cloud computing (e.g., seamless offloading)
- End-to-end architectures for seamless ubiquitous service provisioning and deployment
- Synergic integration of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks
- Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and store-carry-forward techniques for mobile and wireless networking
- Energy-efficient applications, services, and middleware
- Modeling, simulation, and performance evaluation of mobile wireless systems and services
- Trustworthiness, security, and privacy of mobile and wireless systems
- Impact of IMS, RCS, RCS-e, EPC, LTE, LTE Direct on the evolution of mobile middleware
