WMCS 2010 - The 6th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS2010)

The 6th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS2010)
http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/wmcs/
in cooperation with The 5thInternational Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC2010)
May 10-14, 2010, Hualien, Taiwan

Workshop Duration: One Day Workshop

Workshop Theme:

The wide deployment of wireless networks and mobile technologies and the significant increase
in the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand for emerging mobile
commerce applications and 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 and marketplaces, mobile technology providers
and solution integrators. Living in a wireless world changes and enhances people’s life in many ways,
such as communications, information sharing and learning, e-commerce and mobile application 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 commerce applications
and efficient and user-friendly mobile services.

To meet this increasing demand on mobile commerce and mobile services, people are looking for
innovative ideas to create next generation mobile-commerce applications and service systems.
Mobile commerce and services 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 service systems
supporting mobile users anywhere at anytime.

Goals:

The 6th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Services (WMCS2010) 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 of mobile-commerce and 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 wireless-based 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 GPC2010 workshop proceedings.

Workshop History and Likely Participants:

Since 2004, we have successfully organized and delivered a number of international workshops
(WMCS2004, WMCS2005, WMCS2006, EMOBS07, WMCS2008, and WMCS2009) onthe same subject.
The workshop aims at attracting both researchers from academic and industrial institutions
and practitioners from industry. Submission:

Original papers that are not published previously
or under review by other journals or conferences
will be considered.

All submitted papers will be evaluated according to their originality, significance,
correctness, presentation and relevance. The URL link of WMCS2010 workshoppaper
submission http://edas.info/index.php?c=8345For format and style guidelines authors
should refer
to: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-... authors
should prepare their final paper according to the instructions.

Manuscripts will be limited to 8-12 pages following LNCS conference proceedings style
and guidelines. Papers that present novel ideas, criticize existing work, and discuss
practical studies and experiments are especially encouraged.

Accepted papers will be published in LNCS by Springer. At least one of the authors of
each accepted
paper must register as a full participant of the workshop to have the
paper published in the proceedings.
