CALL FOR PAPERS
The 14th International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking (ICMU2023)
Kyoto, Japan + Online (Hybrid)
November 29th - December 1st, 2023

Scope and Aim
ICMU2023 – The Fourteenth International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking – focuses on the active area of research and development in mobile social systems, communications, applications, algorithms, and infrastructure as well as ubiquitous services and computing. The special focus of ICMU includes advancing technologies for next-generation distributed and ubiquitous computing and services where humans, cloud and edge infrastructure, networked sensors, connected devices, and environments are involved. Examples of such technologies are IoT, smart cities, sensor-based services and societies, energy-efficient mobile systems, AI applications in social services, digital twins, cloud and edge computing for mobile computing, and crowd sourcing and sensing. Not only these issues but also fundamental algorithms and theories for mobile system privacy, security, reliability, trust, and robustness are also topics of interest. Authors are invited to submit their research contributions addressing the topics in mobile and pervasive computing and ubiquitous networking.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless Access Technologies
- Networked Sensing, and Applications
- Mobile Device Architectures
- Mobile Systems and Applications
- Mobile Data Science and Analysis
- Mobile Multimedia
- Mobile User Interfaces and Interaction Technologies
- Mobile User Experience
- Toolkit, and Languages for Mobile Computing
- Energy-Aware Mobile Computing
- Cloud and Edge Computing for Mobile Computing
- Semantic Web Technologies
- Localization and Tracking
- Internet of Things
- Crowdsourcing and Participatory Sensing
- Social Network Applications to Mobile Computing
- Implanted and Wearable Computing
- Context and Location-Aware Applications and Services
- Body Area Networks
- Trust, Security, and Privacy
- Smart Cities and Digital Twin
