Call for Papers

Mobile internet based services and information logistics 

Workshop, GI/ÖCG-Jahrestagung 2001,
September 26-28, 2001, Vienna, Austria

Workshop focus

Recent technology development (internet, mobile telecommunication, 
internet appliances) brings the idea of ubiquitious computing close 
to reality. This opens the perspective of information
availability at any place at any time to the network economy. 
Thus, mobile internet computing becomes extremely attractive, 
there is a fast growing demand from users regarding mobile
communications and mobile information access. This demand is 
driven by a broad area of application scenarios. On the other 
hand there are many open problems for research including both,
hardware and software issues. 

However information availability at any place also opens up 
the issue of information overload. More sophisticated mobile 
applications must yield a personalized, demand driven information 
supply.
We call those applications, delivering the right information 
at the right time to the right place, information logistical 
applications. 

The workshop is oriented towards people from research and 
industy dealing with the topics addressed above. The objective 
of the workshop is to discuss technological and organizational 
issues as well as user requirements towards mobile internet applications 
serving the aforementioned principles of information logistics. 

Topics

We are interested in papers focussing on concepts for mobile 
internet applications especially leading to information 
logistical applications. Papers can describe basic research, 
novel applications
and experience reports relevant in the following fields: 

   1.Modelling 
        Techniques for modelling information demand 
           (explicit models as well as implicit demand analysis) 
        Mobile computing (models of locations and situations,
           location based services, privacy models and awareness
           in mobile applications) 
        Information filtering / information demand models 
   2.Architectures and services 
        Mobile IP 
        Wireless application protocol 
        Mobile internet services 
        Architectures for mobile applications 
   3.Applications 
        Show cases, experience reports 
        Information logistical application services 

Submissions of Papers
