CALL FOR PAPERS

The 14th International Conference on Mobile Computing and Ubiquitous Networking (ICMU2023)

Kyoto, Japan + Online (Hybrid)
November 29th - December 1st, 2023

Web: http://www.icmu.org/icmu2023/

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

In principle, we use the same acceptance criteria for both review rounds. Thus, we may accept some 1st-round submissions in 2nd-round notification.

Journal Recommendation

Selected papers will be recommended for a special issue of the Sensors & Materials Journal.

Journal’s Website: https://sensors.myu-group.co.jp/

Submission Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted through EDAS as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch or A4-size paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages.

Please follow the instructions given on the submission instruction page.

Student Grants

ICMU 2023 offers Student Grants to students who co-authored an accepted paper/poster/demo in the conference. Each grant is offered as a free registration. Please see Call for Student Grant page for details.
