Welcome to Dublin and to the fifth running of the International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services (MobiQuitous), which is this year collocated with the first edition of the International Symposium on Vehicular Computing Systems (ISVCS). On behalf of myself and my colleagues at Trinity College Dublin, we are delighted to be able to host what promises to be a stimulating week of workshops, conference sessions, keynote presentations, demonstrations and, above all, lively discussion.
The MobiQuitous 2008 programme this year includes four collocated workshops (The International Workshop on Human Control of Ubiquitous Systems, The International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science, The International Workshop on Middleware for Mobile Embedded Peer-to-Peer Systems, and The 2nd International Symposium on Security and Multimodality in Pervasive Environments). The tone for the main conference will be set by three exciting keynote presentations shared with ISVCS and to be given by Greg O'Hare, John Leonard, and Hannes Hartenstein. The main conference programme comprises 18 high-quality technical papers and simultaneous poster and demonstration sessions featuring ten unique demonstrations. The research to be presented covers the full breadth of mobile and ubiquitous computing although collocation with ISVCS means that there is something of an automotive flavour to the event this year.

A formalization of the SMEPP model in Maude
This paper introduces a service-oriented model for the description of embedded Peer-to-Peer (EP2P) systems and formalizes the proposed model in Maude. The model is organized around the notions of groups of peers and services offered by these groups. We ...
A secure middleware for wireless sensor networks
SMEPP Light is a middleware for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) based on mote-class sensors. It is derived from the specification developed under the framework of the SMEPP project, to deal with the hardware and software constraints of WSNs. SMEPP Light ...
Tailoring service discovery to embedded P2P systems
We present a service discovery architecture for embedded peer-to-peer systems, tailored to deal with low-capacity, mobile devices. The proposed discovery mechanism is built on top of the (Chord) Distributed Hash Table technology, extending it by ...
