SPONSORS AND PARTNERS


SCOPE

MobiCASE, the 3rd International ICST Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services, is a confluence between academia and industry on mobile applications and services research. Specifically the conference is focused on application-layer research and development in mobile computing. Research work presented here is driven by what we see in the consumer space today: high-end mobile phones, high-bandwidth wireless networks, novel applications, scalable software infrastructures, and of course an increasingly larger consumer base that is moving towards an almost all-mobile lifestyle.


TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The program comprises 18 excellent papers and two invited speakers. The presented research covers recent novel work in mobile cloud computing and mobile Web, mobile pervasive and sensing applications, mobile social networking, mobile software engineering and management, novel user experience and interfaces, and smart phone platforms.

WORKSHOPS

Workshop on Mobile Software Engineering The goal of the Workshop on Software Engineering for Mobile Application Development is to explore the challenges, issues and opportunities in a systematic approach to the engineering of mobile applications and systems. As mobile phones and devices become more powerful, as cloud services and telecom infrastructure become richer, and as consumer expectations evolve, developers are faced with an array of challenges that affect how they should systematically build and deploy new applications and systems. These technical and business challenges include multiple sources of fragmentation and constraint, such as:

  • Multiple hardware and software platforms
  • Many development frameworks and programming languages
  • Different operator restrictions and features
  • Many app stores with different rules and tools
  • Very short development cycles
  • UI limitations and complexities of interaction with sensors and cameras
  • Effective use of context
  • Power management
  • Security and privacy models and policies
  • Computational and storage limitations
  • Applications that depend on external services
