SCOPE
The advances in wireless communication 
technologies and the proliferation of mobile 
devices have enabled the realization of 
intelligent environments for people to 
communicate with each other, interact with 
information-processing devices, and receive a 
wide range of mobile wireless services through 
various types of networks and systems everywhere, 
anytime. A key enabler of this pervasive and 
ubiquitous connectivity environments is the 
advancement of software technology in various 
communication sectors, ranging from communication 
middleware and operating systems to networking protocols and applications.
MOBILWARE is dedicated to addressing emerging 
topics and challenges in various mobile wireless 
software-related areas. The scope of the 
conference is the design, implementation, 
deployment, and evaluation of middleware, 
operating systems, and applications for computing 
and communications in mobile wireless systems. It 
aims to provide a high profile, leading edge 
forum for researchers, engineers, and standards 
developers to present their latest research, 
techniques, and experiences in the field of 
software technology for mobile wireless systems.

PAPERS
Original and unpublished research achievements in 
various aspects of middleware/operating 
systems/applications are solicited. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* OS/middleware for embedded systems, wearable 
networks, and personal area networks
* OS/middleware support for the integration of heterogeneous wireless networks
* Middleware for mobile computing
* Middleware for QoS awareness, adaptation, and 
fault-tolerance of mobile services
* Middleware for opportunistic networking in delay-tolerant mobile services
* Location-aware and context-aware mobile supports and services
* Mobility management and handoff management in 
heterogeneous integrated networks
* Location and tracking supports and services
* Mobility-aware wireless service discovery, management, and delivery
* Intelligent and mobile agent technologies for mobile systems and services
* Human-computer interface and portable 3D graphics for mobile devices
* Middleware/applications for wireless sensor 
networks, vehicular networks, home networks, and P2P systems
* Modeling and performance of mobile wireless 
services (VoIP, gaming, P2P sharing, urban monitoring, 
)
* Deployment and management supports for large-scale mobile services
* Policy, trust, security, and privacy issues for mobile wireless networks

WORKSHOPS
Proposals for workshops/tutorials are solicited. 
Potential workshop/tutorial organizers are 
requested to submit a proposal of at most 5 
pages, including a biographical sketch of each 
proponent, to the Workshop/Tutorial Chair by 
December 1, 2008. Proposal evaluation will be 
based on proponents' expertise and relevance of the subject matter.

PUBLICATION
All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed 
by technical program committee members and 
invited reviewers. All accepted papers will be 
published in the novel Springer Lecture Notes of 
ICST series and then be included in major article 
indexing services. Extended versions of selected 
papers from MOBILWARE’09 will be published in a 
dedicated special issue of the Springer Mobile 
Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All paper, poster, and workshop submissions will 
be handled electronically. Please visit the 
Submission page at www.mobilware.org for detailed 
submission requirements and procedures.
