[hpc-announce] CfP LSAUC 2019 - Workshop on Location-based Services and Applications in Ubiquitous Computing

[Carlo Giannelli]

The 3rd International Workshop on Location-based Services and 
Applications in Ubiquitous Computing
http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops/workshop22-lsauc
*Deadline: April 27 (extended)*
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Date: July 15 – 19, 2019
Co-located with the 2019 International Conference on High Performance 
Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2019)

The advances in*Location-based Services and Applications in Ubiquitous 
Computing* of mobile devices have enabled the realization of intelligent 
environments for people and machines to communicate with each other, 
interact with information processing devices, and receive a wide range 
of mobile wireless services through various types of networks and 
systems everywhere, anytime. A key enabler of these ubiquitous 
connectivity environments is the advancement of location-aware 
technology in various communication sectors, ranging from communication 
middleware and operating systems to networking protocols and 
applications. The International Workshop on Location-based Services and 
Applications in Ubiquitous Computing (LSAUC 2019) will provide a forum 
for practitioners and researchers from diverse backgrounds to interact 
and exchange experiences about the design and implementation of mobile 
and ubiquitous systems.

The LSAUC Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to) 
the following:
- Location Mechanisms and Services
- Location and Discovery of Things on the Internet
- Location-aware and Context-aware Networking and Computing
- Location-based Services and Geographic Information Systems
- Location-based Wireless Sensor Networks
- Location-based Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
- Location-Aware Applications in Smartphones
- Spatio-temporal Data Acquisition, Processing, Mining and Analysis
- Context-aware Computing for Location-based Applications
- Communications Architectures and Protocols in Ubiquitous Computing
- Positioning and Tracking Technologies for Ubiquitous Applications
- Ubiquitous Computing for Location-Based Social Networks
- Ubiquitous Social Wireless Networks
- User Interfaces and Usability Issues for Ubiquitous Applications
- Mobile Crowdsourcing and Geotagged Social Media Data
- Innovative Mobile Social Networking Applications
- Social Location-based Context-aware Systems, Services, and Applications
- Middleware platforms for location/context-dependent services
- Location and Visualization
- Security and Privacy Vulnerabilities of Location Aware Services, 
Computing, and Applications
- Privacy Concerns and Preservation in Location based Systems and 
Applications

You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on 
above and other topics related to location-based services and 
applications in Ubiquitous Computing. Submitted papers must not have 
been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere until it appears in 
HPCS proceedings, in the case of acceptance, or notified otherwise. 
Submission can be for
- Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not 
to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up 
to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional 
pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover 
page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone 
numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the 
corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for 
the manuscript.
- Short papers (up to 4 pages), please submit a PDF copy of your full 
manuscript, not to exceed 4 double-column formatted pages per template, 
and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. 
Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should 
include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax 
numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, 
indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are 
equally responsible for the manuscript.
- Poster papers and Posters (please refer to 
http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers-and-participation/call-for-posters 
for posters submission details) will also be considered.

Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page 
numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers 
to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript 
to the Workshop paper submission site at 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lsauc2019. Acknowledgement will 
be sent within 48 hours of submission.

Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. 
Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted 
on the HPCS 2019 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the 
proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available 
at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be 
included in the IEEE or ACM Digital Library and indexed in all major 
indexing services accordingly.

Special issue
Plans are underway to have the best papers, in extended version, 
selected for possible publication in a reputable journal as special 
issue. Detailed information will soon be announced and will be made 
available on the conference website.

Best Regards,
Carlo Giannelli and Marco Picone
