Second International Conference on COMmunication Systems and NETworkS

(COMSNETS 2010)

Eco-system of Mobile technology is evolving with at a rapid pace. The widespread use of mobile computing devices is driving the growth of mobile phone services and applications. Today, mobile phone is a misnomer, as these devices have numerous applications of which telephony is just one of them. In the network core, there are changes with respect to speed, unified communication support (say with IMS), etc., and on the user-end there is a plethora of devices. Many device manufactures have surfaced over the last two decades. The multi-player space has effectively skewed the mobile platforms and customized them. Similar approach has been followed with respect to characteristics, such as processor speeds, open API capabilities, screen sizes, resolutions, etc. These trends have resulted in a significant amount of fragmentation in the platforms space. An application developed for one device is not working as is on the other right away. Such are the unique challenges of this eco-system.

This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in mobile platforms and services to discuss and exchange research in these domains, and also explore emerging fields of mobile technologies.

High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to:

* Mobile software architectures, kernels and APIs

* Design and implementation of open and programmable mobile platforms

* Platform independence

* Mobile software engineering

* Novel mobile services - context-sensitive, accessory based, etc.

* Location-based services

* Mobile services monitoring and evolution

* Mobile application migrations

* Distributed systems and middleware

* Novel SoA

* Clean-slate approach to mobile technologies

* Measurements and analysis of mobile trends

* Mobile service-based applications

Submission

All papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings, published in IEEE Digital Library Xplore. Papers must be submitted electronically in the EDAS. Submissions should not exceed 6 pages including tables and figures. The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.

Important Dates

* Paper submission: October 16, 2009

* Acceptance notification: November 26, 2009

* Camera ready submission : December 18, 2009
