PROMOTO 2013: Programming for Mobile and Touch
We are experiencing a technology shift: Powerful and easy-to-use mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent than traditional PCs and laptops. The languages of today reflect the platforms of yesterday, providing abstractions that fit the capabilities of a standard PC.
In this workshop, we want to bring together researchers who have been exploring new programming paradigms, embracing the new realities of always connected, touch-enabled mobile devices. How should we enter code without a keyboard? What are simple ways of programming for sensors? How do manage program code and data without a file system, and intermittent network connections? Submissions for this event are invited in the general area of mobile and touch-oriented programming languages and programming environments, and teaching of programming for mobile devices. This year, we would especially like to invite contributions covering educational aspects, approaches and insights, as students are more likely than ever to own a personal computing device. Papers are welcome that discuss introductory and advanced courses.
