ACM MobiCom 2013, the Annual International Conference on
Mobile Computing and Networking, is the nineteenth in a series
of annual conferences sponsored by ACM
SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the challenges in the areas
of mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking. The
MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective,
premier international forum addressing networks, systems,
algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and
wireless networks. In addition to the regular conference
program, MobiCom 2013 will include a set of workshops, panels,
research demonstrations, and a poster session that includes
the ACM Student Research Competition. This year, MobiCom will
also be introducing a new mobile app competition and a new
session of invited industry presentations.The conference will
be held in Miami, Florida, September 30-October 4, 2013.

The annual MobiCom conference series is
sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE, the Association for
Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Mobility of
Systems, Users, Data, and Computing. Founded in 1947, ACM is the
world's first educational and scientific computing society.
Today, ACM serves a membership of more than 80,000 computing
professionals in more than 100 countries in all areas of
industry, academia, and government.
The spectrum of topics addressed by ACM SIGMOBILE share
one common theme: mobility. The group's technical scope
reflects the emerging symbiosis of portable computers and
wireless networks, addressing the convergence of mobility,
computing, and information organization, its access,
services, management, and applications. Members of ACM
SIGMOBILE are active in the development of new technologies
and techniques for mobile and wireless computing and
communications.
SIGMOBILE has members from around the world, from academic
organizations, industry research and development, government,
and other interested individuals. Members of SIGMOBILE
receive the quarterly journal, Mobile
Computing and Communications Review (MC2R), and are also
able to receive announcements via the SIGMOBILE moderated
members-only email distribution list, keeping them informed
of the latest happenings in our field, including new
opportunities to share their research and to meet with
friends and colleagues at conferences and other events.
SIGMOBILE members also are eligible for the lowest generally
available registration fee for any event sponsored or
co-sponsored by SIGMOBILE, and for the many events sponsored
by other organizations offered in-cooperation with SIGMOBILE.

ACM SIGMOBILE Harassment Policy |
 |
 |
The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought
and expression are central to the aims and goals of
SIGMOBILE; these require an environment that recognizes the
inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters
dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and that embraces
diversity. The ACM Code of Ethics embraces the "values of
equality, tolerance, respect for others, and the principles
of equal justice". For these reasons, SIGMOBILE is dedicated
to providing a harassment-free conference experience.
Harassment is unwelcome or hostile behavior, including
speech that intimidates, creates discomfort, or interferes
with a person's participation or opportunity for
participation, in any SIGMOBILE event. Harassment in any
form, including but not limited to harassment based on race,
gender, religion, age, color, national origin, ancestry,
disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity, will not
be tolerated. Harassment includes the use of gratuitous
language or sexual imagery in public presentations and
displays, degrading verbal comments, deliberate intimidation,
stalking, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate
physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Conference participants violating these standards may
be sanctioned, expelled from the conference or asked not to
attend future conferences or conference events, at the
discretion of the conference organizers and the SIGMOBILE
executive committee.
If you believe you have been harassed, you are
encouraged to report the incident in confidence to either of
the MobiCom 2013 General Chair (Sumi Helal, helal cise.ufl.edu) or the
SIGMOBILE Chair (Suman Banerjee, suman cs.wisc.edu).
Please send email to mobicom_info acm.org with any
questions or comments about the conference or for more
information. For questions about the paper submission and
review process, please contact the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom_pcchairs acm.org.
