Track 5: Mobile Systems and Applications Development

Track Description

Mobile market still grows daily and rapidly, not only with an increasing number of users but with amazing new types of interactions between users, applications and their environment. This is having a huge impact on markets and companies, on systems and technology, and on users and their social relations and behaviour. The underlying machinery is complex and it relies mostly on same actors that are also impacted: the users with their demands and new social needs, technologies offering new and ever evolving possibilities and companies looking for new models to innovate that yield revenues. The use of mobile technologies is reshaping our society and it strongly influences modern information systems. The users’ expectations are growing daily and it is not an easy task for organizations to adapt to these requirements which, in order to be fulfilled, presume a completely different development paradigm.

Thus, this track welcomes papers that investigate how the organizations or development teams are dealing with different challenges in development of mobile information systems and applications. The track focuses on topics such as mobile architectures, management of mobile data, mobile user interfaces, as well as business issues of mobile development.
