Twenty-first International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and
Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops
focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their
underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format
makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial
approaches.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%">We solicit submissions of papers
that (1) focus primarily on systems and applications and (2) propose new
directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new)
ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We especially encourage papers
that identify fundamental open questions, advocate a new approach, offer a
constructive critique of the state-of-the-art, debunk existing assumptions,
report unexpected early results, report on promising but unproven ideas, or
propose new evaluation methods. Novel ideas need not be supported by full
evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations suffice. The
program committee will explicitly favor early work and papers likely to
stimulate reflection and discussion over a “6-pages conference paper.”<span></span></span></p>

way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a
full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality
conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in
less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and mature
ideas to warrant publication.<span></span></span></p>

have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at
another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not
acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the
scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential
material during the review.<span></span></span></p>
