*-- FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS --*
***TAMoCo'14 - Techniques and Applications for Mobile Communications &
Commerce *
*http://fedcsis.org/tamoco***
/as part of/
*Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems
(FedCSIS’14) *
*Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014*
*CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS*
Mobile technology became one of the most vibrant and stimulating areas
driving forward the ICT society of the 21^st century. Mobile
communication networks have evolved into the new delivery platform and
services consumption models for many industries and government
organizations worldwide.
Mobile devices, such as smart phones or tablets, open the door to a
great assortment of new applications and services. This may also include
new types of specific application settings such as medical environments,
support for disabled people, industrial workspaces, process monitoring,
automatics and diagnostics or measurement activities in remote and
distributed environments. Location, other context information and
personal data are used to tailor services directly to the needs of the
user. This leads to pervasive environments in which users can always
access the Internet. While this seems to be an exciting development it
also raises substantial security and privacy concerns which need to be
properly addressed.
Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services that
are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices. It involves new
technologies, services, and business models. Whilst it is different from
traditional e-Commerce it can also be considered as an extension of it
since, among other reasons, it makes e-Commerce available, in a modern
way, to new application areas and to a new set of customers.
The goal of TAMoCo is to bring together researchers and practitioners
that work in different aspects of mobile communications and services in
the context of business and industrial applications. This includes the
incorporation of web services and cloud-based services, autonomic mobile
computing, and the integration and interplay with urban systems,
industrial settings, medical environments and other contexts. Research
contributions in application areas such as mobile learning, human
centered design, support of disabled people, ubiquitous computing and
extended enterprise are also welcome in TAMoCo’14. Finally, security is
perhaps the most important factor for the success of mobile
communications, commerce and mobile applications.
*TOPICS OF INTEREST*
TAMoCo14 conference welcomes submissions of original papers concerning
all aspects of mobile commerce and communication ranging from concepts
