MobEA IV-
Empowering the
Collocated with WWW2006 conference
Aim and Scope
We are in the midst of a mobile revolution. Mobile Web Initiative spearheaded by W3C is making a strong stand on how to realize the vision of pervasive mobile computing. Services provided have to be adapted to the users wants and needs. To do this, we need to go beyond technology, and understand the human-centric aspects of mobile computing. The objective of this workshop is to provide a single forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in emerging innovative applications for mobile wireless access. W3C has started a number of initiatives along the direction of Mobile Web Best Practices, Device Description Working Group, Device Independence Working Group and others.
Topics of interest for technical papers include, but are not limited to the following:
The
topics of interest are particularly important for the Spring 2006 timeframe to
align MWI with the users, the carriers’/operators deployment strategies and of
course the application/service providers’.
Submissions
will be solicited and all papers are subject to peer review. Each paper will be
reviewed by at least two peers and their collective comments will be taken into
consideration to decide paper acceptance. We will maintain a rather high level
of importance on the technical feasibility of the proposed applications for a
telecommunications carrier managed service or a premise-based enterprise
deployment at large scale.
This
conference will provide an international forum to discuss issues on emerging
mobile applications both from a technical and business standpoint. The chosen
mix of papers will attract a large community of mobile application providers.
The targeted audience will range from developers and technical managers to
business level executives, providing a good mix of talent.
Submission
You are invited to submit a full paper describing completed work (up to 5,000 words) or a position paper describing work in progress (up to 2,000 words) not to exceed 12 double spaced, 8.5 x 11-inch pages (including figures, tables and references) in 10-12 point font. Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, and the corresponding author's e-mail address.. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. The format of submitted papers must follow the ACM conference proceedings guidelines, including no page numbers. At least one author of accepted papers must register for the WWW’06 conference before the early registration deadline.
