MOBICASE 2009 - The 1st Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services

Researchers and engineers face new challenges stemming from consumer habits that continue to shift to encompass both a desktop-centric work environment as well as a smartphone-centric lifestyle. MOBICASE, the International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services, will be where theory meets practice in the mobile wireless computing community. The conference will allow scientists and practitioners from both academia and industry to highlight their best work in mobile applications and service provisioning.

MOBICASE stands out from other conferences that have similar topics of interest. Our conference is specifically focused on application-layer research and development in mobile computing: applications, application management, and application services. We are largely compelled 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 customer base that's moving towards an almost all-mobile lifestyle. This focus is what sets us apart from other conferences.

We believe researchers who are in the mobile computing application, middleware, and service provisioning areas will really be drawn to MOBICASE with our emphasis on end-to-end applications and a strong interaction between industry and academia.
