ACM MobiSys 2026 seeks to present innovative and significant research on all aspects of mobile computing, applications, and services. The conference values technical contributions with working implementations and practical evaluations. We also welcome work that critically examines compelling mobile scenarios and applications, shedding light on novel insights and lessons learned. We also encourage the submission of papers that provide detailed technical explorations of real-world deployments of applications and systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    New software systems for mobile computing (including architectures, operating systems, infrastructure support, and web)
    Energy and resource management for mobile devices
    Machine learning and AI for mobile devices
    Novel human-mobile interaction techniques and experiences
    Security and privacy in mobile systems
    Wearable systems and applications
    Vehicular, robotic, and drone systems
    Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality systems
    Context and location sensing systems
    Application-focused mobile and wireless systems (i.e., systems for health, accessibility, sustainability, climate, buildings, agriculture, etc.)
    Mobile and wireless systems in challenging environments (e.g, underwater, space, in-body)
    Novel datasets for mobile and wireless systems
    Wireless communication and sensing systems (including 5G/6G, millimeter-wave & THz, backscatter, LPWAN)
    Experience with mobile applications, networks, and systems
    Non-traditional topics that bring new perspectives to mobile computing
