| CALL FOR PAPERS |
| *8th International Workshop on* |
| *Managing Ubiquitous Communications and SERVICES (MUCS 2011)* |
| http://www.ubiquitous-management.org/mucs |
| |
| Held as part of PerCom 2011 |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| _March 21, Seattle, USA_ |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Ubiquitous Communications and Services, as evidenced in pervasive |
| computing and smart space applications, present significant management |
| challenges for the successful delivery of highly adaptive services |
| across heterogeneous networks, mobile networks, ad-hoc networks, |
| middleware, applications, and devices. Such challenges include: managing |
| user-centric services and context services, extreme distribution and |
| scalability, extensive system & network & semantic heterogeneity, ad-hoc |
| formation and disassociation of systems and services, and intelligent |
| support for user centric applications. Today�s management systems need |
| to keep pace with the complexity, heterogeneity, and automation required |
| by the pervasive computing vision. |
| |
| Since 2003, the MUCS workshop (both independently and collocated with |
| major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for researchers |
| and practitioners to explore the theoretical, technological, and |
| organizational challenges, and to present advances in management |
| techniques and technologies, for pervasive computing and smart space |
| applications. |
| |
| The workshop provides a single-track scientific program containing a |
| blend of keynote presentations from leaders in research in this area, |
| peer-reviewed papers, and a small selection of invited presentations. |
| The goal of the workshop is to investigate the state of the art in |
| managing pervasive/smart space applications from a broad perspective. |
