ACM MobiCom is the premier international conference dedicated to addressing emerging topics in mobile, wireless and adhoc networking and computing. MobiCom 2017 will hold multiple one or half day workshops on October 16 (Monday), 2017 and October 20 (Friday), 2017 of the conference week in SnowBird Ski Resort, near Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to mobile communications, wireless networking, and mobile computing on or before Feb 28, 2017 to the Workshop Chairs. The ideal workshop proposal should focus on a specific area of significant current interest, and be able to attract a number of high-quality submissions. Proposals on emerging or disruptive topics guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community will be selected. MobiCom 2017 will likely feature a mix of some returning and some new workshops. Workshop proposals may fall into any of the three following tracks: (a) research, (b) industrial or (c) experimental.
Research Track Workshops
We encourage standard research-oriented workshops that address emerging research topics that can generate significant interest in the community. Areas include, but not limited to, mobile, wireless networking and computing.
Industrial Track Workshops
In addition to the standard research-oriented workshops, we encourage proposals that are more industry-oriented in nature. Examples include (but are not limited to) workshops themed around a specific platform (e.g., Android, Windows 8, iOS) and hands-on experience workshops involving mobile devices, sensor platforms, wearables and other hardware. In addition to the requirements outlined below, industrial-track workshop proposals should specifically highlight their relevance to the MobiCom community.
Experimental Workshops
In line with the objectives of MobiCom 2017, we also invite workshop proposals that would target papers presenting extensive experiences with implementation, deployment, and operation of mobile computing and wireless networks.

ACM MobiCom provides basic support for the workshops in the form of registration, publication, publicity, meeting space, audio/video equipment and coffee breaks. To promote flexibility, the details including the format of the workshop and the form of submissions and presentations are left to the organizers of each workshop. Because workshops are meant to foster discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In addition, targeting more interactive forums such as presentations of short papers, posters and demos, panels, and round-table discussions, rather than traditional presentations of full-length papers can be more conducive to successful workshops. We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about submitting a workshop proposal.
For further information, please contact the Workshop Co-Chairs, Tam Vu (University of Colorado, Denver, USA. Email: tam.vu @ucdenver.edu and Bozidar Radunovic (Microsoft Research, England. Email: bzidar@microsoft.com. Please make sure that you include "MobiCom 2017 Workshops" in subject line.
