Message from MOWU Symposium Organizing Committee

Abstract

Welcome to the COMPSAC 2015 Inaugurating Symposium on Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing (MOWU). Riding on the recent rapidly growing trend in making processing/data mobile and cloud-based, MOWU is focused on recent advances in wireless communications and the proliferation of powerful mobile devices that have enabled a wide range of mobile services, everywhere and anytime. The symposium echoes the main theme of COMPSAC 2015 on “Mobile and Cloud Systems – Challenges and Applications”, addressing challenges in emerging application domains such as connected health, wearable computing, Internet of things, cyber-physical systems, and smart planet. MOWU’s primary objective is to attract presentations by both researchers and practitioners of their recent results, findings and achievements in all components of the pervasive ubiquitous environments including the advancement of middleware technologies in various mobile-related sectors, ranging from effective synergic management of wireless communications to adaptivity of system software, and from horizontal support of crowdsourcing in different application domains to dynamic offloading on cloud resources. By fostering innovation, the main goal of MOWU is to advance the understanding of, defining and addressing the challenges in mobile communications regarding current and future mobile services, applications, and devices for wearable and ubiquitous computing.
