THEME
Combinations of mobile and ubiquitous computing are becoming increasingly
present in our daily life. Through the use of mobile devices embedded in the
surrounding physical environment, users can be provided with transparent
computing and communication services at all times and in all places. The
complexity of providing such services stems from the fact that the
communication devices and the objects with which they interact may both be
mobile. Their implementation requires advances in wireless network technologies
and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments,
discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services,
and an understanding of the cross-layer interactions between all of these
components. The Fifth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous
Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous 2008) will provide a
forum where practitioners and researchers coming from many areas involved in
ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact and
exchange experiences needed to build successful ubiquitous systems. Areas
addressed by the conference include systems, applications, service-oriented
computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all
with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not
currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited.
Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an
overall working system are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are
not limited to, the following:
- Ubiquitous architectures, systems and applications
- Wearable computing and personal area networks
- Wireless technologies (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi, WiMAX)
- Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems
- Ad hoc and sensor network support for ubiquitous computing
- Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks
- Wireless/mobile service management and delivery
- Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems
- Service and knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms

The growth of wireless embedded technology and their advancements are very rapid and tremendous strides in this realm. However, the industries strive to get and make use of computing devices to be faster, inexpensive and tiny without sacrificing sophistication and versatility. In the realm of wireless communication and mobile computing with the fast changing technologies and customer-driven product development the researchers and design engineers have to stride with the industries?? ultimately end-users?? requirement. Tremendous developments in such technologies as wireless communications and networking, mobile computing and handheld devices, embedded systems, wearable computers, sensors, RFID tags, smart spaces, middleware, software agents, and the like, have led to the evolution of pervasive computing platforms as natural successor of mobile computing systems. The goal of pervasive computing is to create ambient intelligence where network devices embedded in the environment provide unobtrusive connectivity and services all the time, thus improving human experience and quality of life without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.
The main aim of this conference is to bring experts, researchers, faculty and students together to discuss about the technological advancements.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The conference will bring together researchers, academics and industry practitioners who are involved or interested in the design and development of Wireless and Mobile Learning Technologies.

It will also help in understanding of the challenges faced in providing technology tools to support the learning process and ease the creation of instruction material using mobile technologies will help building a direction for further research and implementation work.
We will approach Ministries, Mobile Service Providers, Mobile Device Manufacturers, Associations, Universities, Banks and those in this industries to support this initiative. The Government of Malaysia also is promoting ICT and content creation.

LTT Global in association with IPD-OUM, Government Bodies and the Private Sector, will bring together :our local and international communities of policy and decision makers, academics educators, developers, publishers, NGOs? and manufacturers; those experienced in the use of mobile technologies and those who are new to it, to share and expand knowledge of how the use of mobile and pervasive technologies will lead to a positive, transformational change for teaching and learning where the learner is placed at the centre and where every learner matters.

CONFERENCE, EXHIBITION AND WORKSHOP
The Conference And Exhibition Running Concurrently Over 3 Days Will Also Present Exceptional Opportunities
Exhibition Day 1 to Day 2
Conference Day 2 and Day3
Workshop Day 3 FREE Software From Hotlava Software, USA worth RM1,000++

Mobile Learning, still in the infancy stage both locally and globally. To date the research and development has generated much interest and discussion in the financial, logistical or technical aspects
The unique attributes of wireless mobile devices by creating new learning opportunities was made possible by mobile technology.

The state of the art and ever increasing availability of wireless portable devices eg., laptops, palmtops, mobile phones, PDA, smart phones, etc and enhanced infrastructure and navigational services by the mobile service providers eg., 2G-3G, WAP, GPS, Bluetooth, WLAN ,GPRS, etc have provided a rich environment for the proliferation of mobile learning applications. The development of mobile applications and the availability of devices offer substantial potential to support and enable learning and teaching processes on portable mobile devices will be presented, accompanied by experimentations to demonstrate their coherence and feasibility.

The Mobile Learning and Edutainment Conference 2007 aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing cutting edge research and development in mobile learning. In particular empirical research informed by theories of learning approaches which are well suited for mobile learning experiences and scenarios, is encouraged. Furthermore, given the continuous developments in technology, the conference aims to generate speculative debate in relation to where the field may be going.

We invite researchers, practitioners, developers and all those working in the mobile learning arena to submit papers on the following topics:

Pedagogical approaches and theories for mLearning
Collaborative, cooperative and Contextual mLearning
Creativity and mLearning
Gaming and simulations in mLearning
mLearning in educational institutions: primary, secondary and third level
Informal and Lifelong mLearning
mLearning in developing countries
New tools, technologies and platforms for mLearning
User Studies in mLearning
The social phenomenon of mobile devices and mLearning
Speculative ideas in mLearning: where next?
An academic conference is itself an exercise in learning. Accordingly, proposals as to how mobile technology can enhance the conference experience are invited.
