The 7th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Healthcare Services (WMCS2011)

http://www.weco.net/wmcs/

in cooperation with

The 2nd International Conference on Security-enriched Urban Computing and Smart Grids (SUComS 2011)

September 21-23, 2011, Hualien, Taiwan

Workshop Theme:

The wide deployment of wireless mobile technologies and the significant increase in

the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand for emerging

mobile commerce and healthcare services based on today’s wireless network

technologies. This trend has provided many new business opportunities and

challenges to e-commerce vendors, mobile service providers, mobile content

publishers, mobile technology providers and solution integrators. Living in a wireless

world changes and enhances people’s life in many ways, such as communications,

learning, e-commerce, telemedicine and telehealthcare services. At the same time,

businesses and government agencies are confronted with new pressure for technology

update, that is, how to provide customers and users with reliable and secure mobile

applications and efficient and user-friendly mobile services.

To meet this increasing demand on mobile services, people are looking for innovative

ideas to create next generation mobile services and systems. Mobile service has

become a very hot research subject in both business and research communities. The

major theme of this workshop is to study new business models, emerging mobile

technology, and engineering methods to build the next generation of mobile commerce

and healthcare services and systems supporting mobile users anywhere at anytime.

Goals:

The 7th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Healthcare Services

(WMCS2011) is a forum to bring together business people, researchers, scientists,

software architects, and industry professionals to discuss innovative ideas and diverse

topics on next generation mobile commerce and healthcare services. Using this forum,

researchers and practitioners can exchange issues, challenges, new business models

and structures, and new technologies and solutions.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original and research papers

addressing business and technical issues, challenges, solutions, and technologies in

building mobile wireless software systems and applications. All submissions will be

peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee. Accepted

paper will be included in the SUComS2011 workshop proceedings.
