Notification of acceptances: 15 September 2001
TECHNICAL SCOPE
Overview
Mobile applications and services are exploding in the market today.
However, typically value-added applications have been developed as
additions to the most basic application of all, which is mobile
wireless voice and data access, or developed as specialized vertical
services. Despite the proliferation of mobile wireless services being
introduced in the marketplace, it is not yet clear which will be the
killer apps and for which market segments and in which regions.
Therefore, it is critical that frameworks be built to enable rapid
creation and deployment of mobile wireless services leveraging not
only reusable components but also design and deployment patterns,
including the adaptation and optimization patterns essential in mobile
wireless environments.
The challenges in building next generation mobile wireless system include:
* Providing a flexible service creation and deployment environment
* Promote reuse of existing services
* Reflection of end device capabilities to provide dynamic adaptation
of content
* Use of Jini and other service discovery technologies for distributed
service execution
* Impact of technologies like Bluetooth[10] on mobile middleware
platform performance and scalability
* Security
* Efficient service provisioning and deployment mechanisms
* Content Morphing
* Support for provisioning services
With this workshop we plan to discuss and discover other unearthed
challenges in building such a system as well resolve these challenges
in a collaborative manner.
Goals
The goal of this workshop is twofold:
(a) To discover the challenges as well as discuss and document the design
patterns and OO techniques used to resolve these challenges for
building mobile wireless systems.
(b) Stimulate discussion on the requirements and features of common APIs,
both between mobile clients and servers, and between services and
the mobile application framework.
Submission Requirements
Participants will be required to submit a 8-10 page technical paper
within the workshop deadline. Details are available at the website,
