<div dir="ltr">-- Apologies for Cross-Posting ---<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>The 18th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC)<br>Leuven, Belgium<br>August 9-12, 2021<br><a href="http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-21/">http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/mobispc-21/</a><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br><br>Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC) have evolved into an active area of research and development. This is due to the tremendous advances in a broad spectrum of technologies and topics, including wireless networking, mobile and distributed computing, sensor systems, RFID technology, and the ubiquitous mobile phone. MobiSPC-2020 solicits papers that focus on the theory, systems, practices and challenges of providing users with a successful mobile or wireless experience. This includes how mobile computing changes how people pervasively use their computers, computing resources and applications, as well the systems, services and technologies enabling those applications.<br><br>MobiSPC-2021 will provide a leading-edge, scholarly forum for researchers, engineers, and students alike to share their state-of-the-art research and developmental work in the broad areas of pervasive computing and mobile systems.<br> <br>Important Dates<br>----------------<br>- Workshop Proposal Due: February 20, 2021<br>- Paper Submission Due: April 9, 2021 (Extended)<br>- Acceptance Notification: May 17, 2021<br>- Final Manuscript Due: June 15, 2021<br><br>Publication<br>------------<br>All MobiSPC 2021 accepted papers will be published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line.

Leuven is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals in Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world.<br><br>Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls worldwide and Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236 statues, which were only added to the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in total. On the bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and historical figures, dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron saints of the various parishes of Leuven. The facade is adorned by the counts and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical figures.<br><br>Conference Tracks<br>---------------<br>- Component-based IoT<br>- Enabling Technologies and Emerging Topics<br>- Internet of Things (IoT)<br>- Mobile Cloud Computing<br>- Mobile Data Management<br>- Mobile Social Networking<br>- Pervasive Computing<br>- Smart Cities and Ubiquitous Climate Change Management<br>- Smart Communities and Ubiquitous Systems<br>- Mobile Systems and Applications<br><br>Committees:<br>-----------<br>Honorary Chair<br> Luc De Schepper, Rector, Hasselt University, Belgium<br><br>General Chair<br> Danny Hughes, K.
