          International Workshop on Mobile Ubiquitous Systems,
      Infrastructures, Communications and AppLications (MUSICAL'16)

                         November 28th, 2016
                          Hiroshima, Japan

                 (collocated with EAI MobiQuitous 2016)


AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST:

The MUSICAL'16 workshop is a forum to discuss technologies related to future
mobile ubiquitous systems, from every possible aspect of information
and communication technologies. Since future mobile ubiquitous systems
could include a wide range of technologies, including wired and wireless
communications, data processing and analytics, mobile and social
applications, etc., this workshop accepts all of them to have beneficial
discussions related to the upcoming mobile ubiquitous world.

The workshop  will be organized  in a manner that  fosters interaction
and  exchange   of  ideas  among  the   participants.   Besides  paper
presentations,  time  will be  allocated  to  vision or work-in-progress
papers that have the potential to stimulate debate on existing  solutions or
open challenges. This is expected to provide a discussion forum among
young researchers and students, which might envision novel ideas that will
have a radically different perspective on the current-state.

We solicit original research articles that include new ideas or
technologies that promote discussion on future technological innovations
from a wide variety of technical seeds.

Topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* ad-hoc networks
* body area networks
* cloud computing
* context-aware applications
* crowd sourcing
* distributed computing
* energy-aware computing/systems
* home gateways/networks
* internet of things
* infrastructure technologies
* location-based/tracking systems
* mobile applications
* mobile data management/analytics
