International Workshop on Mobile Ubiquitous Systems, Infrastructures, Communications, and AppLications (MUSICAL 2016)

Held in conjunction with MobiQuitous 2016
November 28, 2016 - Hiroshima, Japan

About

MUSICAL 2016

Aims: 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:
