As the premier conference on mobile computing and
wireless communication, MobiCom 2013 solicits papers that
focus on the theory, system, practice and challenge of
providing users with a successful mobile or wireless
experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how
people use their computer, computing resources and
applications, as well the systems, services and technology
enabling those applications. At its core, we expect papers to
address issues related to mobile computing and communication
challenges in the presence of various wireless and mobile
networks, including but not limited to wireless LANs, cellular
data networks, mobile social networks, delay-tolerant
networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, vehicular
networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks.
Successful papers will address real research challenges
through theoretical analysis, novel system design, as well as
real-world measurement and deployment of mobile systems and
applications.
MobiCom 2013 will be a diverse conference, and we
strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems,
experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee
will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate
for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental
paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the
innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation,
and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper
may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design
of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same
time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking
technologies is challenging because of the significant impact
that the physical environment has on performance. For this
reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the
evaluation methodology that is used and identify its
strengths and weaknesses.
The program committee will referee all papers, and
accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings.
