CallforPapers The 15th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC'18), August 13-15, 2018, Gran Canaria, Spain http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-18/ IMPORTANT DATES - Paper Submission Due: April 13, 2018 (Extended) - Acceptance Notification: May 15, 2018 - Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2018 About 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-2018 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-2018 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. Publication All MobiSPC 2018 accepted papers will be published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line.

MobiSPC 2018 will be held in Gran Canaria, Spain. Gran Canaria originally meaning "Great [Island] of Dogs" is the second most populous island of the Canary Islands, an African archipelago which is part of Spain, with a population of 847,830 (in 2015) that constitutes approximately 40% of the population of the archipelago. Located in the Atlantic Ocean about 150 kilometres (93 mi) off the northwestern coast of Africa and about 1,350 km (840 mi) from Europe. With an area of 1,560 km2 (602 sq. mi) and an altitude of 1,956 m (6,417 ft) at the Pico de las Nieves, Gran Canaria is the third largest island of the archipelago in both area and altitude.
