----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 13th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive
Computing (MobiSPC)
August 15-18, 2016
Montreal, Canada
http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-16/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC) have evolved into an
active area of research and development. This is due to the tremendous
advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics, including
wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems,
RFID technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone. MobiSPC-2016
solicits papers that focus on the theory, systems, practices and
challenges of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless
experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how people
pervasively use their computers, computing resources and applications,
as well the systems, services and technologies enabling those
applications.

MobiSPC-2016 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 mobile systems.
