Mobile Computing and Applications Track

22nd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

SAC 2007

http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/

March 11 - 15, 2007

Seoul, Korea

The research area of mobile computing has become more important following the recent widespread drive towards wireless sensor networks and location tracking technologies and their applications. The availability of the high bandwidth 3G infrastructures, and the pervasive deployment of low cost WiFi infrastructure serve to accelerate the development of mobile computing to provide ubiquitous computing make possible through the use of increasingly powerful hardware handheld devices, many of which now come with built-in Bluetooth and wireless LAN interfaces. Emergence and acceptance of programming standards like J2ME, SOAP/.NET, and different software applications have broken the barrier for seamless communications across devices. As mobile computing and its applications involve inter-disciplinary research efforts, this is an appropriate track for SAC, in order to draw upon expertise from different areas of researches for better synergy. The unique characteristics and issues present in a mobile computing environment have motivated diverse research areas, spanning from protocols for mobile computing to middleware services to facilitate better integration of mobile services to existing network infrastructure, as well as effective information representation, processing and visualization with small devices. This track is dedicated to this exciting and evolving area of mobile computing to draw upon research efforts and expertise from different areas of researches for better synergy. We would like to bring forth not only the core technologies driving the research, but also important applied research and applications to realize the benefits of anywhere, anyplace and anytime computing.

Authors are invited to submit original papers the above-mentioned or other related areas. Submissions fall into the following categories:

• Original and unpublished research work
• Reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas
• Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains
• Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems

Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least three reviewers in the program committee for quality, correctness, originality, and relevance. To ensure double-blind review, author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the paper body. Any self-reference should be in the third person. Submitted papers should not be longer than 5 pages in ACM format (about 5000 words). Longer papers up to 8 pages will be imposed with additional charge upon publication. Papers should be submitted as PDF or PostScript Files via eCMS. In case you experience technical problems with the eCMS system, please contact the eCMS administrator Jeff Allen at jallen@cs.iupui.edu. Notification and reviews will be communicated via e-mail. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2007 website http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/. Note that the same paper cannot be submitted to multiple tracks in SAC.

One of the authors must be designated as the primary contact point to receive the notification at the time of the paper submission. At least one of the authors of the accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper. The accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2007 proceedings. A set of selected papers, which did not get accepted as full papers, would be accepted as poster papers and will be published as extended two-page abstracts in the symposium proceedings. Submission must be received by Friday, September 8, 2006.
