Here's an interesting proposition we can possibly discuss next Tuesday, Oct.
17:
> Subject: ASE Special Issue on Software Engineering for Mobility (Call for Papers)
> Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 19:04:49 -0400 (EDT)
> From: murphy@cs.rochester.edu

> Special Issue on Software Engineering for Mobility

> Call for papers
> ---------------
>
> The integration between computing and communication represents one of the most
> important technological developments of the last decade, a phenomenon marked
> by significant economic and social changes centered mostly on the Internet.
> The goal of this special issue is to examine the next major wave of
> technological changes in the computing environment, the integration of
> computing, communication, and mobility. In its broadest sense, mobility
> involves the migration of computing components through some logical or
> physical space. Physical components provide the platform for applications
> designed to cope with changes in physical location and connectivity to both
> wired and wireless networks. Physical components can assume a large diversity
> of forms including sensors, personal digital assistants, laptops, and large
> computing platforms residing on vehicles including cars, ships, or airplanes.
> Movement may happen across geographical regions or in the confines of a single
> building. Applications executing on such platforms may act in isolation, may
> coordinate with components in close proximity, or may access resources on a
> fixed network. Mobile components can also come in the shape of logical units
> such as code fragments or active programs. The latter carry both code and
> execution state among fixed and mobile hosts, exploiting locality of resources
> and computation. A feature typical of all mobile environments is the need to
> adapt to a constantly changing context that is affected by variability of
> network characteristics, changes in the availability of resources, and
> heterogeneity among participating platforms. For these and other reasons,
> mobility is associated with increases in the complexity of the software
> development process. New software engineering techniques are needed to
> address the challenges posed by the development of software for physical and
> logical mobile environments.
>
> This special issue is intended to highlight new research that advances the
> understanding of critical issues in mobility and proposes viable solutions for
> the software engineering of systems that involve mobility in all its
> forms. Submissions are not restricted in any way. Topics of special interest
> include middleware tailored to mobility, tools to aid in the design of mobile
> systems, models that capture fundamental properties of mobility and enable
> formal reasoning about mobile systems, coordination techniques which address
> adaptability and security, and algorithms that solve fundamental problems in
> mobility.

> Submission guidelines
> ---------------------
>
> Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of their contribution in
> PostScript or PDF to murphy@cs.rochester.edu, using ASE2001 in the subject
> line. Submissions must be received by January 5, 2001. Manuscripts must be in
> English, single-spaced, 12 point font size, and 15 pages maximum. In addition
> to the electronic version of the paper, the email submission should include a
> text-only version of the title, author(s) name and affiliation, abstract, and
> the name and address (both postal and electronic) for the contact author.
>
> Papers submitted for consideration by the special issue must represent
> original unpublished work. No version of the paper may be submitted
> concurrently to any other journal or conference. Any manuscript failing to
> meet this condition will be rejected outright.
