Call for Papers

The First (and hopefully the last) Workshop on Mobile Systems for COVID-19 Response (MobiCOVID 2022), held in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2022, will gather academic and industrial experts to share their experiences in exploiting mobile computing and embedded sensing technologies to address the challenges raised by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The workshop will cover various topics from contact tracing applications, tools for efficiently analyzing COVID-19 related data to supporting systems that have contributed in connecting individuals during quarantine.

Specifically, MobiCOVID 2022 solicits papers in the following topics but are not limited to:

Contact tracing technologies for COVID-19
Data collection and analytics for COVID-19
System design and deployment experiences
IT-medicine collaborative efforts in tackling infectious diseases
Clinical support systems for pandemic response
System design for remote education
System design and implementation experiences to address challenges in the with-COVID-19/post-COVID-19 era

Submitted papers will be reviewed by a program committee and evaluated based on technical merit and innovation as well as their potential to stimulate interesting discussions and exchange of ideas at the workshop.

Papers being submitted to MobiCOVID 2022 should be in ACM conference format (double column) and should be no more than 6 pages in length (including references and all materials). Accepted abstracts will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
