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 telehealthcareservices. 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 servicesand 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 servicesand 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 wirelesssoftware systems and applications. All submissions will
