[JeongGil (John) Ko]

ACM MobiCom Workshops 2017
Call for Workshops

ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to addressing
emerging topics in mobile, wireless and adhoc networking and computing.
MobiCom 2017 will hold multiple one or half day workshops on October 16
(Monday), 2017 and October 20 (Friday), 2017 of the conference week in
SnowBird Ski Resort, near Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. We invite you to
submit workshop proposals on any topic related to mobile communications,
wireless networking, and mobile computing on or before Feb 28, 2017 to the
Workshop Chairs. The ideal workshop proposal should focus on a specific
area of significant current interest, and be able to attract a number of
high-quality submissions. Proposals on emerging or disruptive topics
guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community will be
selected. MobiCom 2017 will likely feature a mix of some returning and some
new workshops. Workshop proposals may fall into any of the three following
tracks: (a) research, (b) industrial or (c) experimental.

*Research Track Workshops
We encourage standard research-oriented workshops that address emerging
research topics that can generate significant interest in the community.
Areas include, but not limited to, mobile, wireless networking and
computing.

*Industrial Track Workshops
In addition to the standard research-oriented workshops, we encourage
proposals that are more industry-oriented in nature. Examples include (but
are not limited to) workshops themed around a specific platform (e.g.,
Android, Windows 8, iOS) and hands-on experience workshops involving mobile
devices, sensor platforms, wearables and other hardware. In addition to the
requirements outlined below, industrial-track workshop proposals should
specifically highlight their relevance to the MobiCom community.

*Experimental Workshops
In line with the objectives of MobiCom 2017, we also invite workshop
proposals that would target papers presenting extensive experiences with
implementation, deployment, and operation of mobile computing and wireless
networks.

*Proposal Submission Instructions
A workshop proposal should be no more than 3 pages and should at least
include (preferably in the same order):
• Proposal track (research, industrial, experimental) in the title
• Motivation and rationale for the workshop.
• List of workshop program components (keynote speaker, panel, paper
sessions, etc.).
• Names and affiliations of main organizers and tentative composition of
the committees.
• Prior history of this workshop, if any (including # submissions, #
accepted papers and # attendees).
• Expected number of submissions and participants.
• The workshop deadlines (internal and external).
• A draft call for papers (as complete as possible).

If the workshop was previously co-located with other conferences, please
indicate the name of the conferences and the years clearly.

Email proposals in PDF (ONLY) to the workshop co-chairs, including "MobiCom
2017 Workshops" in the subject line. Please make sure to add the email
addresses of all workshop co-chairs to the system for better communication.

*Important Dates (all deadlines are at 11:59 PM PST)
Proposals due                            : 28 Feb 2017
Notification of Acceptance      : 14 Mar 2017
Workshop final call for papers: 28 Mar 2017

*Workshop Co-chairs:
Bozidar Radunovic (Microsoft Research, England) : bozidar at microsoft.com
Tam Vu (University of Colorado, Denver, USA) : tam.vu at ucdenver.edu

*General Information
ACM MobiCom provides basic support for the workshops in the form of
registration, publication, publicity, meeting space, audio/video equipment
and coffee breaks. To promote flexibility, the details including the format
of the workshop and the form of submissions and presentations are left to
the organizers of each workshop. Because workshops are meant to foster
discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE
community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather than exclusive
in their solicitation of material. In addition, targeting more interactive
forums such as presentations of short papers, posters and demos, panels,
and round-table discussions, rather than traditional presentations of
full-length papers can be more conducive to successful workshops. We look
forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions about submitting a workshop proposal.

*Further Information
For further information, please contact the Workshop Co-Chairs, Tam Vu
(University of Colorado, Denver, USA. Email: tam.vu @ucdenver.edu and
Bozidar Radunovic (Microsoft Research, England. Email: bzidar at microsoft.com.
Please make sure that you include “MobiCom 2017 Workshops” in subject line.
