The 20th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive
Computing (MobiSPC)
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
August 14-16, 2023

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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- 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-2023 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.
