List of Accepted Papers

The research area of mobile computing has become more important following the recent widespread drive towards wireless sensor networks, RFID and location tracking technologies and their applications. The availability of the high bandwidth 3G infrastructures, and the pervasive deployment of low cost WiFi infrastructure and WiMAX to create hotspots around the world serve to accelerate the development of mobile computing towards ubiquitous computing. Together with the use of increasingly powerful hardware handheld devices, many of which now equipped with built-in Bluetooth and wireless LAN interfaces, the drive towards integrated mobile computing infrastructure becomes mature. Emergence and acceptance of programming standards like J2ME, SOAP/.NET, and different software applications have broken the barrier for seamless communications across devices. As mobile computing and its applications involve inter-disciplinary research efforts, this is an appropriate track for SAC, in order to draw upon expertise from different areas of researches for better synergy. The unique characteristics and issues present in a mobile computing environment have motivated diverse research areas, spanning from protocols for mobile computing to middleware services to facilitate better integration of mobile services to existing network infrastructure, as well as effective information representation, processing and visualization with small devices. This track is dedicated to this exciting and evolving area of mobile computing to draw upon research efforts and expertise from different areas of researches for better synergy. We would like to bring forth not only the core technologies driving the research, but also important applied research and applications to realize the benefits of anywhere, anyplace and anytime computing.

Papers are solicited for the following representative topic areas (but not restricted to):

- adaptive computing
- caching and disconnected operation
- context-aware mobile computing
- data replication and reconciliation
- L-commerce
- location-aware applications
- M-commerce
- mobile agents
- mobile applications and systems
- mobile databases and transactions
- mobile device programming and applications
- mobile middleware services based on events, and object models
- mobile web access and web services
- pervasive computing
- RFID applications
- spatiotemporal data representation and processing
- visualization on handheld devices
- wearable computers
- wireless communication and networks
- wireless multimedia
- wireless sensor networks

Program Committee members from renowned universities with strong expertise in their respective areas will blindly review the submissions to the track. Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings. Submission guidelines can be found on SAC 2010 Website. Prospective papers should be submitted to the track using the provided automated submission system. Submission of the same paper to multiple tracks is not allowed. For more information please visit the SAC 2010 Website (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2010/).

Authors are allowed up to 8 pages, but there will be a charge of 80USD per extra page for any paper with more than 5 pages in the final camera ready. One of the authors must be designated as the primary contact point to receive the notification at the time of the paper submission. At least one of the authors of the accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper. Submission must be received by Tuesday, September 8, 2009.
