<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>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-2023 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
