Call for Papers
Special Issue of the Journal of Systems and
Software on "Mobile Applications: Status and Trends"
http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/JSS-MobileApps-SI.pdf
in the Journal of Systems and Software (Elsevier
Science, SCI-Indexed, Impact factor: 1.241)

===========================================================
Scope:
The packing of new technology into handsets
becomes increasingly dense, turning traditional
resource-constrained cell-phones into advanced
audiovisual devices operating on fast,
high-capacity wireless networks. Mobile software
advances just as quickly with researchers and
practitioners migrating from desktop-centric to
smartphone-centric applications. Research in this
area is driven by the all-mobile lifestyle,
consumer demand and advances in hardware design
and communication networks. The steady decrease
of mobile data communication charges and the
proliferation of devices with large screens,
rich-multimedia support and built-in GPS, WiFi,
sensors and compass give rise to novel mobile and
nomadic applications. Mobile application
developers face numerous challenges related with
location and context awareness, personalization,
mobile data management, porting over multiple
platforms, devices' fragmentation, etc. Service
providers are responsible for application
management, deployment models and middleware support.
The goal of this special issue is to explore
application-layer research and development in
mobile computing and solicit high-quality
research works outlining application development
and industry status and trends. All articles
should consider the practical application of the
idea advanced through case studies, experiments,
or systematic comparisons with other approaches
already in practice. Research areas of relevance
include, but not only limited to, the following topics:
- Middleware and distributed systems in support of mobile applications
- Middleware and supports for context- and location-aware applications
- Adaptive personalization
- Mobile application and smartphone platforms:
Java ME, Windows Mobile, .NET Compact Framework,
Android, iPhone, Symbian, Blackberry, Flash Lite, etc
- Supporting toolkits, programming languages and libraries
- Application porting and device fragmentation issues
- Use of novel hardware features such as
accelerometers, compasses, touch sensing, GPS/A-GPS
- Application lifecycle management and deployment models
- Mobile applications accessibility issues
- Security and privacy issues in mobile applications
- Mobile applications for social networking,
healthcare, culture, tourism, commerce, targeted advertising, etc
- Mobile applications for smart environments
(smart homes, smart cars, smart cities, etc)
- Advances in mobile navigator applications
- Advances in mobile gaming
- Innovative location-based and context-aware mobile services
- Mobile Web 2.0 and mobile web application
frameworks (Mobile Ajax, Mobile Flash, mobile web widgets, etc)
- Mobile web and mobile applications authoring tools and programming platforms
- Mobile web design
- Mobile HCI, smart mobile interfaces
