Happy New Year 2009!

6th IEEE International Workshop on Management of Ubiquitous Communications and Services (MUCS 2009) - http://www.ubiquitous-management.org/mucs/index.php

Date and Venue: June 15, 2009 in Barcelona, Spain, as part of 6th International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications - ICAC 2009 http://icac2009.acis.ufl.edu/

Submission: February 6th 2009 ===================================================================== Scope of the MUCS Workshop -------------------------------------------

Smart space applications, present significant management challenges for successful delivery of highly adaptive services across heterogeneous networks, mobile networks, ad-hoc networks, middleware, applications and devices. Such challenges include: managing user centric services and context services, extreme distribution and scalability, extensive system & network & semantic heterogeneity, ad hoc formation and disassociation of systems and services, intelligent support for user centric applications.

To address these issues, new and innovative management solutions need to be realized. Such approaches need to support greater levels of autonomy within the management of systems, services and networks. However such new-style management needs to be informed by and operate within the scope of business, operational and environmental constraints and policies. A key element of greater acceptance and impact of pervasive management across application domains will be the degree of user empowerment they offer, balanced against the ever increasing need for greater management automation.

Since 2003, the MUCS workshop (both independently and aligned with major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the theoretic, technological and organizational challenges, and to present advances in management techniques and technologies, for pervasive computing and smart space applications.

The workshop provides a single-track scientific programme containing a blend of keynote presentations from leaders in research in this area, peer-reviewed papers and a small selection of invited presentations.
