We solicit papers, demonstrations, videos, and posters for the workshop "Ubi-Islands 2009 – Interconnecting Ubiquitous Islands using Mobile and Next Generation Networks ", to be held at the MOBILWARE 2009 conference on Monday, April 27, 2009, in Berlin, Germany.

Position papers will be required for participation in the workshop. Papers should be 2-4 pages in length, and present a relevant research topic, study area, or company position. Contributions that are likely to demonstrate diverging views in a constructive way will be preferably selected for presentation by the program committee.

We solicit contributions that combine aspects of mobile, ad-hoc, wide-area, broadband, and ubiquitous computing by discussing, for example:

• New applications and user interface concepts for utilizing ubiquitous connectivity.
• Requirements from ubiquitous consumer and enterprise services on networks and network interconnectivity.
• Interconnection of systems and networks for ubiquitous services through mobile and broadband networks.
• Use and development of open mobile platforms, femto cells, sensors and other advanced technologies to build systems and services for ubiquitous computing.
• Security, privacy and trust aspects for services combining global and local connectivity.
• Techniques, requirements, architectures and examples of sharing and creating services in global networks that leverage ubiquitous computing technology.
• Operations, administration, management, and provisioning of services and technology for the interconnection of ubiquitous islands.
