Aims and Scope

The great diffusion and the growing demand for advanced mobile devices
involves billions mobile phone users worldwide. Mobile devices are becoming
central means for service delivery and future mobile services will very
likely come. In fact, mobile devices can make services available anywhere,
anytime, and in any format. 

That is, models, methods and technologies for the Mobile Communication,
Mobile Web and services design are relevant discussion issues for providing
the state of the research and new ideas and solutions in the research area.

The objectives of the M2AS Workshop are to promote discussion on concepts,
models, methods, languages and systems for designing mobile pervasive
services, their technological standards and architectural solutions.


List of topics


The M2AS’08  Workshop invites researchers, engineers, services developers to
propose their research and works in the field of mobile devices and
services. Papers may deal on method, models, case studies, practical
experience and technologies. Topics of the workshop include but are not
limited to: 

*	Conceptual models for Mobile web and services 

*	Conceptual models of human computer interaction 

*	Device technologies 

*	Communication technologies 

*	Multimodal systems 

*	Mobile systems and services 

*	Usability evaluation methodologies for mobile pervasive application 

*	Interactive context-aware services on mobile devices 

*	User experiences, user studies 

*	Application and scenarios
