The 8th International Symposium on Frontiers in
Ambient and Mobile Systems
(FAMS 2018)

In conjunction with

The 9^th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT 2018)

May 8-11, 2018
Porto, Portugal

The rapid advances in wireless computing and communications have revolutionized the construction of Ambient, ubiquitous, pervasive and mobile information systems. These systems are emerging disciplines bringing together the essentials from artificial intelligence, distributed systems, mobile computing, peer-to-peer, sensor networks, networks, embedded systems, human computer interaction, autonomic computing and many other research fields.

This symposium is intended to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to identify and discuss the new issues and challenges imposed by the aforementioned systems. Papers that illustrate new ideas, innovative research results, or survey works in the following topics will be solicited. Topics of interest will include, but are not limited to:

• Autonomic networks and communications

• Ad hoc and sensor network support for ubiquitous computing

• Agent and multi-agent systems

• Automated and adapted services

• Empirical studies

• Grid systems

• Human-computer interaction

• Integration of pervasive computing systems

• Location models and location awareness

• Mobile web and cloud services

• Mobile web of things

• Modelling and Simulation in Traffic and Transportation Sciences

• Models of context and context awareness

• Networking, tracking and sensing technologies

• Quality of service management

• Robotics & sensors

• Service oriented computing for systems & applications

• Social networks

• Smart environments and smart spaces

• Systems security and privacy

• Ubiquitous and pervasive applications
