MobiSPC-2015 will provide a leading edge, scholarly forum for researchers, engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the art research and developmental work in the broad areas of pervasive computing and communications. 

MobiSPC-2015 will be held in the city of Belfort. Belfort exists since the Roman period and was official recognized as an autonomous city in 1307. From this date, the city was under the authority of the Burgundy Duchy and Austrian Empire. In 1638, Belfort becomes a French city. After the war of 1871, France looses the Alsace and Lorraine regions, except the city of Belfort for its outstanding defense. The statue of the Lion of Belfort was made by Bartholdi to commemorate this event. Belfort is home to multiple academic institutions, and where visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and entertainment. 

MobiSPC-2015 is co-organized & co-hosted by the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbeliard, France. The University was created in 1999 from the fusion of two engineering schools. It is member of the network of the Universities of Technology with Compiegnes, Troyes and Shanghai (China). The University is located on three campus located in the towns of Belfort, Sevenans and Montbeliard, from North to South (separated by 15 kms each). The campus of Belfort is located in one of the biggest technology and industrial activity park of the town. Basel (in Switzerland) lies 50 kms away to the East, Strasbourg 150 kms to the North-East, Zurich (in Switzerland) 160 kms to the East, Franckfurt (in Germany) 350 kms to the North-East, Lyon lies 300 kms to the South-West, Paris 500 kms to the North-West.
