Proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications

Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems -- HotMobile '15. This year's workshop continues the tradition of previous years, being a highly selective venue for mobile computing research. HotMobile '15 again serves its mission as an interactive workshop focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. The call for papers attracted 85 submissions from Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. The program committee accepted 23 across a variety of topics, including: understanding human gestures, the Internet-of-things, mobile energy requirements, cellular networks, network monitoring and imaging, location, mobile platforms, learning, and privacy. The program also includes a keynote speech by Mark Corner of Fiksu Inc. and The University of Massachusetts at Amherst examining the tradeoffs between academia and the startup world, the challenges in starting companies, and the calculus for joining them -- along with his startup experience in mobile advertising technology. 16 posters and 7 demos were accepted for display.
