Mobile system and Pervasive computing have evolved into an active area of
research and development, 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-2021 solicits papers that focus on the
theory, system, practice and challenge of providing users with a successful
mobile or wireless experience. This includes how mobile computing changes
how people pervasively use their computer, computing resources and
applications, as well the systems, services and technology enabling those
applications.

MobiSPC-2021 will provide a leading edge, scholarly forum for researchers,
engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the-art research and
