Mobile Computing and Applicatons Track
The advances in third generation mobile networks, portable devices, programming standards such as J2ME and new classes of mobile applications have driven the importance of mobile computing to new heights. The area of mobile computing has evolved over the past 10 years into an inter-disciplinary research area. While mobile applications are beginning to appear as part of the distributed information system, the mission of truly integrating the mobile computing paradigm to mainstream computing model remains a challenge. The unique characteristics and issues presented in a mobile environment have already motivated diverse research areas, spanning from protocols for mobile computing to middleware services in order to facilitate better integration of mobile services to existing network infrastructure.
This track is dedicated to draw upon research efforts and expertise from different areas of researches for better synergy. We would like to bring forth not only core technologies driving the research, but also important applied research to realize the benefits of anywhere, any place and anytime computing.

Papers are solicited for the following representative topic areas (but not restricted to):

caching and disconnected operation

context-aware mobile computing

data replication and reconciliation

location-aware application

M-commerce

mobile agents

mobile applications and systems

mobile database and transaction

mobile device programming and application

mobile middleware services based on event, and object models

mobile web access

spatiotemporal data representation and processing

visualization on handheld device

wireless communication and network

wireless multimedia
