2nd IEEE International Workshop on Engineering Mobile-Based Software and Networking Applications (EMOBS 2009)
IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMPSAC 2009
================================================================================ THEME OF THE WORKSHOP
The wide deployment of wireless networks and mobile technologies and significant increase of the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand on various wireless-based mobile-based software application systems and enabling technologies. This provides many new business opportunities and challenges to wireless and networking service providers, mobile technology vendors, content providers and solution integrators. Living in a wireless world changes and enhances people’s life in many areas, such as mobile communications, wireless information sharing and learning, m-commerce, home environment, and entertainment. Today, business organizations and government agencies face with new pressure for technology update in network infrastructures and enterprise solutions to support wireless connectivity and mobility. To meet the increasing demand on various reliable wireless-based software application systems, business people are looking for innovative ideas to create diverse mobile-commerce applications and service systems, and engineers are looking for cost-effective engineering methods and efficient solutions to build high-quality wireless-based software and application systems.
Meanwhile, evolution in new network architecture and protocols is likely to have major impact on mobile networks, and developments in peer-to-peer overlay and ad-hoc networks will raise different challenging research issues in mobile networking applications. Therefore, today studying and solving technical issues in engineering wireless-based software, services, networking architecture, and application systems is becoming a hot research subject for academic researchers and the industry community. The major theme of this workshop is to embrace new networking architectures in engineering high quality mobile-based software and application systems to support end users anywhere at anytime.
