MobiSys is a premier venue for researchers working in the area of mobile and wireless systems, middleware, services, and applications. The previous fourteen MobiSys conferences were very successful, with strong refereed paper presentations, demonstrations, poster sessions, and workshops. Workshop papers will be included with the MobiSys proceedings and posted in the ACM Digital Library.

We solicit workshop proposals on new and emerging topics in the general area of mobile and wireless systems, services, and applications.

Workshops are scheduled for June 19th and June 23rd, 2017. The ideal workshop proposal will focus on a timely and emerging topic, and be able to attract a number of interesting and high- quality contributions that spark discussions in an informal setting. The goal is to stimulate interactive conversations and inspire new research ideas.

The proposal should be no longer than three pages and should clearly identify:

1. The name of the workshop.
2. The names, address, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of each organizers (up to three).
3. A brief description of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time.
4. The list of names and affiliations of potential program committee members.
5. The planned format of the workshop, including a strategy to facilitate lively discussions and attendee involvement.
6. The expected number of submissions and participants.
