Computing and Networking, is the twenty second in a series of annual
conferences sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE dedicated to addressing the
challenges in the areas of mobile computing and wireless and mobile
networking. The MobiCom conference series serves as a highly selective,
premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms,
and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. <br><br>Program highlights this year:<br><br><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"></span></span><span>- Special Test-of-Time Award Session<br><br></span>In celebration of the inaugural SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time awards, there will be a special half-day <span>session</span> as part of the main conference program. The authors of each
award paper will be invited to give a 15-minute presentation followed by
panel-style discussions and Q&A sessions. The event will culminate
in a forward-looking panel on the future of mobile and wireless systems.<span><br><br><br></span><br><span>- Keynote: Craig Neville-Manning, CTO Sidewalk Labs<br></span><div><br><div>Craig is Chief Technology Officer of Sidewalk Labs, leading the
engineering team which focuses on developing new urban technologies.
Before joining Sidewalk Labs, he founded Google's first remote
engineering center, located in New York City. In his role as Engineering
Director at Google, he oversaw the development of products including
Google Local (now Maps) and Froogle (now Google Shopping), as well as
features of web search such as Question Answering and Web Definitions.

connectivity and computing paradigms for 5G networks and services. He
received his MS and PhD degrees from the School of ECE, Georgia Tech,
where he received dissertation awards for his master’s
and doctoral theses. He is the recipient of multiple award papers at
various conferences, such as ACM MobiHoc, ACM CoNEXT, IEEE ICNP and IEEE
SECON. He also received NEC’s business contribution award for
developing and commercializing a self-organizing network
technology for LTE small cells in 2015. He has participated in various
organizational roles in professional and conference committees, with the
most recent one being a TPC co-chair for ACM MobiCom 2016. He is a
senior member of IEEE and currently serves as
