The relentless development of wireless technology paves the
way to novel applications, based on sensor networks or
wireless systems. This workshop aims at bringing together
specialists of application areas along with researchers of
mobile computing and networking. A first goal of the workshop
is to exchange information about the most promising upcoming
applications. A second goal is to identify the research
challenges raised by these applications.

The topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited
to:

- Environmental monitoring, including pollution, wildlife, water, etc.
- Smart factories, supply chains, retail systems (including
  those based on RFID)
- Intelligent Transportation Systems, automotive applications
- Aerospace applications
- Mobile systems for disabled or elderly people
- Smart buildings, smart homes

The ideal submission should describe an existing or a potential
application; it should also discuss the technical challenges
raised by this application, with an emphasis on those related to
mobile computing and networking. Please feel free to contact
the workshop co-chairs Jean-Pierre.Hubaux-p8DiymsW2f8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
Mani Srivastava (mbs-9EpHCN0E9LOVc3sceRu5cw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to determine 
appropriateness.

A submission should contain at most 3 pages and be typed in at
least font 10, with reasonable margins; both US letter and A4
formats are eligible; the document must be a pdf or a ps. There
will be no published proceedings. The accepted contributions
will be presented during the workshop in a talk of 25 minutes
each + 5 minutes for questions; the final version of the abstract
will be posted on the Web site of the workshop.

       CALL FOR PAPERS: MobiSys 2004 Workshop on
                  Context Awareness

    Hyatt Harborside in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
                    June 6, 2004

          http://www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2004/

                    IMPORTANT DATES
   Workshop Submissions:               March 5, 2004
   Notification of acceptance:         April 16, 2004
   Final papers due:                   May 7, 2004
   Accepted papers available online:   May 14, 2004


The MobiSys 2004 Workshop on Context Awareness seeks to present
innovative, signficant research in the area of context-aware
computing. This will be a one-day workshop, featuring refereed
paper presentations and breakout sessions. To facilitate
significant discussion, the number of attendees will be limited
and attendees are expected to have read the workshop papers
prior to the workshop. The workshop particularly values the
practical experience gained from designing, building, and using
context-aware computing systems, applications, and services.

The conferenc addresses broad systems issues in context-aware
computing. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
  o Design, implementation, and evaluation of context-aware
    applications
  o Middleware and service architectures supporting context-aware
    applications
  o Data management and representation of context information
  o Security and privacy of context-aware systems and
    applications
  o Resource discovery of context data sources
  o Algorithms and techniques for making inferences about context
    information
  o Novel sources of context information
  o Experience with context-aware systems
The ideal submission should present novel, on-going research that
has resulted in the implementation or evaluation of running systems.
Please feel free to contact the Workshop Chairs at
mobisys_ctxtwksp-ZPIE4F2n3h69X4G+GA8tIaxOck334EZe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to determine 
appropriateness.

We invite submissions of 4-6 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages is PDF
format, including everything, two-column format, using 10-point type.
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest,
clarity, relevance, and correctness. Submissions should be received
no later than midnight EST on March 5, 2004. Please check the web
for submission instructions. There will be no published proceedings,
but the papers will be available on-line prior to the workshop.

POSTER, DEMO, AND VIDEO SESSIONS

Do you have interesting work you would like to share, or a cool idea
that is not ready to be published?  Poster sessions are for you!  
Poster sessions, scheduled during the technical sessions, introduce
new or ongoing work.

Additionally, this year MobiSys welcomes Demos and Videos of working
systems and applications. Are you working on a large project which
involves several systems working in concert to define a nomadic
computing environment? Shoot a Video of your working system and present
it at MobiSys. We promise fantastic publicity in the mobile systems
community!

The MobiSys audience will provide valuable feedback and discussion. We
are particularly interested in presentation of student work.  To submit
a poster, demo, or video, please consult the conference web site for
instructions.  Proposals should be received by March 5, 2004.
