Proceedings of the 12th Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Twelfth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications --- HotMobile '11. This year's workshop continues the tradition of previous year's workshops of being a highly-selective venue for mobile-computing research. HotMobile's mission is to provide a forum for discussing the future of mobile computing through presentations of new ideas, preliminary research results, and experience reports. The call for papers attracted 49 submissions from Asia, Europe, and North America. The program committee accepted 16 papers that cover a variety of topics, including privacy and security, sensing, and novel user interfaces. The program also includes a keynote speech by Betsy Masiello on the role of mobile computing in communication, information gathering, and human organization as well as a poster and demo session. HotMobile has traditionally included a Doctoral Consortium in which students can receive feedback on their work from a broad range of researchers. We have upheld this tradition, but changed the format. Instead of holding a separate session with several long presentations, this year's Doctoral Consortium participants will give brief overviews of their work at the beginning of each technical session.
