CALL FOR PAPERS

ETSD 2012
Emerging Technologies for Smart Devices
December 3-7, 2012, Anaheim, CA (USA)
http://etsd.it.ubi.pt/

Workshop held in conjuction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2012

Smart devices,  such as smart phones and Pad  devices, are penetrating
to our daily life. How the  technologies for these devices evolve will
affect how  people live in the future. The objective of this workshop
is to provide  single forum for researchers and technologists  to
discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set
future directions in emerging technologies for smart devices. We
welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations,
practical results, position papers addressing the  pros and cons of
specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and
solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in
term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments,
implementations, running experiments and applications.

Topics of interest:
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are
not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but
are not limited to, the following: areas:
• New communication paradigm for smart devices
• User experience and usability with smart devices
• Performance and robustness
• Utilization of multiple access networks
• Distributed/ubiquitous computing with smart devices
• Mobile cloud
• Algorithms and protocols for smart devices
• Optimization for smart devices
• Device monitoring and management
• Social and life enhancement with smart devices
• Mobile services and applications (m-health, mlearning, m-government, etc.)
• Security aspects for smart devices
• Economic aspects
