SIGMOBILE FY'11 Annual Report July 2010 - June 2011 Submitted by: Roy Want, SIGMOBILE Chair Introduction Building on the expanding field of mobile computing, SIGMOBILE is the ACM Special Interest Group on Mobility of Systems, Users, Data, and Computing. Its scope includes all aspects of mobile computing and communications, such as mobile systems and applications, wireless networking protocols and algorithms, and mobile information access and management. SIGMOBILE is a strong, vibrant SIG, with significant membership, healthy finances, well-respected, successful conferences, workshops, and publications, and valuable services for its members and the community. The current elected officers in SIGMOBILE’s Executive Committee are:
This is the second year the Executive Committee has served since the 2009 elections, and includes the Past Chair, Prof. David B. Johnson (Rice University, USA). Committee Appointed Positions SIGMOBILE’s leadership has four committee appointed positions:
In the Fall of 2011 we will be looking for a new Workshop Coordinator as Ahmed Helmy has stepped down after many years of service. We thank him for all his contributions to make SIGMOBILE Workshops successful. Sponsorship for the Mobile Computing Research Community In 2010-11, SIGMOBILE has provided sponsorship in the form of financial support for three programs in the mobile computing research community.
N2 Women is an ACM SIGMOBILE program that has been financially supported by SIGMOBILE, Microsoft Research and HP Labs. In the past year, funds from SIGMOBILE were used for the N2 Women Student Fellowship program. A student applies for a Fellowship and, if selected, N2 Women partially covers the student's travel cost (up to $500) to a conference where an N2 Women event will be held. In exchange, the student must help organize the N2 Women meeting. The benefit of doing the organization, in addition to the travel funds, is for the student to connect with the organizers of the conference who are, typically, leaders in the research field. The organization also arranges for a senior member of N2 Women to assist/mentor the student in this task. Since June 2010, there have been 11 N2 Women Student Fellows who organized N2 Women events at the following conferences: • Farhana Ashraf, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (SECON 2011) • Ouldooz Baghban Karimi, Simon Fraser University (SIGCOMM 2011) • Yue Liu, University of Michigan) (MOBISYS 2011) • Yan Qiao, University of Florida (INFOCOM 2011) • Yu-Han Chen, National Taiwan University (SENSYS 2010) • Minlan Yu, Princeton University (SIGCOMM 2010) • Afra Mashhadi, University College London (MOBICOM/MOBIHOC 2010) • Lara Deek, UC Santa Barbara (MOBICOM/MOBIHOC 2010) • Michela Papandrea, University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), (WoWMoM 2010) • Pegah Sattari, UC Irvine (MobiSys 2010) • Devu Shila, Illinois Institute of technology, Chicago (ICDCS 2010) Also thanks to support from SIGMOBILE, N2 Women held the 1st Networking Networking Women Workshop on September 20, 2010 in conjunction with MobiCom/Hoc in Chicago, Illinois. The breakdown of the 65 female attendees is as follows: 33 students (51%), 17 senior researchers (26%), and 15 junior researchers (23%). Overall, there were 47 institutions represented by the attendees. Participants came from all over the US and from as far away as Europe and India, with the following countries represented: Canada, France, India, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. We had several participants who attended the conference because they were coming to the N2 Women workshop and several others who attended the N2 Women workshop only (i.e., they did not attend the co-located MobiCom/Hoc conferences). In fact, a few participants traveled from Europe just to attend the N2 Women workshop! In all N2 Women announcements, SIGMOBILE (and other sponsors of N2 Women) are thanked. Further details of N2 Women are available at: http://committees.comsoc.org/n2women/.
SIGMOBILE Conferences and Workshops SIGMOBILE currently sponsors or co-sponsors five annual conferences, all recognized as the premier conferences and focus areas within the field:
MobiCom 2010, the 16th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking, was held at the Drake Hotel, September 20-24th, 2010, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Nitin Vaidya (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA) served as General Co-Chair, and Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) and Dina Katabi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) served as the Program Co-Chairs. MobiHoc 2010 was co-located with MobiCom 2010, sharing in common the General Chair, hotel, keynotes and workshop sessions. The MobiHoc 2010 Program Co-Chairs were: Christoph Lindemann (Universität Leipzig) and Jitendra Padhye (Microsoft Research, USA). The MobiCom/MobiHoc 2010 technical program featured an opening keynote talk, “The State and Evolution of Broadband Wireless Technologies” by Bill Payne, Vice President and CTO Motorola Networks Wireless Broadband Systems And Technologies. The MobiCom/MobiHoc 2010 program also included two days of workshops, a total of 7 in all. There were 3 workshops on September 20th:
And 4 workshops on September 24th:
MobiCom 2010 also supported the traditional N2 Women luncheon meeting, and a fascinating demo and poster event. The conference banquet was held as a dinner cruise leaving from the Navy Pier on the evening of September 22nd. MobiCom 2011 will be held September 19-23rd, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada. *****
The MobiSys 2011 technical program began with a keynote talk by Dr. Edward W. Felten (Federal Trade Commission) on “Making Progress on Mobile Privacy”. Dr. Felten is the first Chief Technologist at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. He is on leave from Princeton University, where he is a Professor of Computer Science and Public Policy. The final day featured a second keynote by Dr. Douglas C. Sicker (Chief Technologist with the FCC) on “Technology Policy Issues at Federal Communications Commission” Dr. Sicker is the Chief Technology Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and also the DBC Endowed Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder with a joint appointment in the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program. On June 30th (day 2), the SIGMOBILE 2010 Outstanding Contributions Award (OCA), the most prestigious SIGMOBILE technical award, was presented to Prof Mahadev Satyanarayanan (Satya): “For pioneering a wide spectrum of technologies in support of disconnected and weakly connected mobile clients”. Satya’s research has always been focused on mobile systems, and hence the choice to present the award at MobiSys, rather than MobiCom. The award was followed by a plenary talk entitled, “Mobile Computing: the Next Decade and Beyond”. Satya is an experimental computer scientist who has pioneered research in mobile and pervasive computing. One example of his work is the Coda File System, which supports distributed file access in low-bandwidth and intermittent wireless networks through disconnected and bandwidth-adaptive operation. The Coda concepts of hoarding, reintegration and application-specific conflict resolution are seen in the hotsync capability of mobile devices today. Key ideas from Coda were also incorporated by Microsoft into the IntelliMirror component of Windows 2000 and the Cached Exchange Mode of Outlook 2003. Other examples of Satya´s work include Odyssey (which explored operating system support for application-aware adaptation to overcome resource limitations in mobile computing) and the Internet Suspend/Resume system (a hands-free approach to mobile computing that leverages virtual machine technology). Satya is a co-inventor of many technologies central to mobile and pervasive computing, such as cyber foraging, data staging, lookaside caching, and translucent caching. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE. He was the founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Pervasive Computing and the founding program chair of the HotMobile workshop series. The last day of the conference (Friday, 1st July), also began with a Keynote from Dr. Douglas C. Sicker (Chief Technologist with the FCC) and a talk titled, “Technology Policy Issues at the Federal Communications Commission”. Dr. Sicker has held various positions in academia, industry and government. Presently, Doug is the Chief Technology Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Doug is also the DBC Endowed Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder with a joint appointment in the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program. Doug is a senior member of the IEEE, as well as a member of the ACM and the Internet Society. He has served as an advisory to the Department of Justice National Institute of Justice. After leaving the FCC, he was also the Chair of the Network Reliability and Interoperability Council steering committee and served on the Technical Advisory Council of the FCC. His research and teaching interests include network security, wireless systems and telecommunications policy. The MobiSys program also featured 4 workshops and a PhD Forum on Monday, June 28th:
In addition, the MobiSys 2011 program included an N2 Women luncheon on Thursday, June 30th. MobiSys 2012 is being planned for June 2012 in the Lake District, England. The General Chair will be Prof. Nigel Davies (Lancaster University), and Program Co-chairs: Lin Zhong (Rice University) and Srini Seshan (CMU). *****

In addition to the conferences and co-located workshops above, SIGMOBILE also sponsors the HotMobile workshop (previously known as WMCSA) as a stand-alone event, not co-located with a conference. The HotMobile workshop series focuses on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies, in a small workshop format that makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. The Executive Committee encourages the MobiCom Program Committee meeting be collocated with HotMobile to ensure a representative selection of senior researchers attend the event. This workshop was previously sponsored each year by the IEEE Computer Society, but has been sponsored instead by SIGMOBILE since HotMobile 2008. HotMobile 2011, the 12th Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, was held March 1-2nd, 2011, Phoenix Arizona, USA. Anthony Lamara (Intel Labs, Seattle USA) served as the General Chair, and Landon Cox (Duke University, USA) served as the Program Chair. The HotMobile 2011 technical program featured a keynote by Betsy Masiello (Policy Manager, Google Inc) entitled, “Communication, Information and Organization: The evolving role of mobile technology”. Betsy is currently with Google Inc, and has an MSc in Financial Economics from the Said Business School, Oxford University; and a BA in Computer Science and Economics from Wellesley College. HotMobile 2011 also included a Doctoral Consortium, providing feedback on students' current research and guidance on future research directions, offering each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution, and promoting the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. The MobiSys 2011 program committee meeting was held the day following Hotmobile to encourage participating senior researchers to attend HotMobile, widen the discussions, and support the Doctoral Consortium. HotMobile 2012 will be held February 2012, in San Diego, California, USA. The General Chair is Gaetano Borriello (University of Washington), and the Program Chair is Rajesh Krishna Balan (Singapore Management University, SG). *****
We have also committed to sponsor MobiOpp 2012. Each year, SIGMOBILE is also "in-cooperation" with a number of different events sponsored by other organizations. Events offered "in-cooperation with" SIGMOBILE allow its members to register at the same discounted rate as for members of other sponsoring organizations for the event, providing a significant savings to SIGMOBILE members. During this past year (July 2009 through June 2010), SIGMOBILE was in-cooperation with the following events:
In-cooperation commitments are also in place for MobileHCI 2011 (Aug 30th -2nd Sept), Wireless Health 2011 (Oct 10-13th), MobiHeld 2011 (Oct 23rd) and ACWR 2011 (Dec 19-21st).
