Submissions should be full papers, up to 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, in two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and technical correctness. Accepted papers will be shepherded by a member of the program committee.

MobiSys, like most conferences and journals, requires that papers must not be submitted simultaneously to any other conference or publication, that submissions must not be previously published, and that accepted papers must not be subsequently published elsewhere. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review.

Abstracts of papers are due Monday, November 27, 2006, 23:59 EST. Full papers are due Monday, December 4, 2006, 23:59 EST. These are hard deadlines; no extensions will be granted. All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the EDAS system. Please use this link (http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=5080) to submit your paper. Note that submission is a two-stage process: you will first need to register your paper and submit an abstract, then submit the full manuscript. Manuscripts must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified above. Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the system using the same link as above. It will be possible to revise manuscripts until the site closes for submissions on Monday, December 4,
2006, 23:59 EST.

Please note that no paper will be published in the conference proceedings unless one of its authors has registered for the conference.

Poster and Demo Session

Do you have interesting work that you would like to share, or a great idea that is not quite ready to be published as a full conference paper? The Poster and Demo Session will introduce new or ongoing work, and showcase demonstrations of working systems and applications. The MobiSys attendees will provide valuable discussion and feedback. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. See Call for Posters and Demos for details on how to submit your work to this session.
