This includes how mobile computing changes how people use their computer, computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and technology enabling those applications. At its core, we expect papers to address issues related to mobile computing and communication challenges in the presence of various wireless and mobile networks, including but not limited to wireless LANs, cellular data networks, mobile social networks, delay-tolerant networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, vehicular networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks. Successful papers will address real research challenges through theoretical analysis, novel system design, as well as real-world measurement and deployment of mobile systems and applications.</span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; "><br></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; ">MobiCom 2013 will be a diverse conference, and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the design of the algorithm and its provable properties. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses.</span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; "><br></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; ">The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.</span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; "><b><br></b></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; "><b>Paper Submission Instructions</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "><b> </b></span></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; "><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size: 16px; ">All paper submissions will be handled electronically.
