[Tccc] Workshop on "Mobile Science: Sensing, Computing and Dissemination"

The Science Dissemination Unit (SDU) of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), with the assistance of the University of Washington (USA) and of the UCLA Centerfor Embedded Networked Sensing (USA) will hold a Workshop on "Mobile Science: Sensing, Computing and Dissemination" in Trieste (Italy) from the 2 to the 5 of November 2010.

Mobile applications offer tremendous benefits to academic research and education, and to society as a whole throughout the world. This is an opportunity that deserves attention and promotion, especially in less developed areas where mobile phones are the first telecommunications technology in history to have more users than in the developed world.

The Mobile Science workshop aims to engage the scientific community in developing countries in the design, development, and deployment of the newest mobile scientific applications; in addition, to train participants in mobile scientific computing. Participants will learn how to apply mobile technology tools to retrieve scientific data, how to apply appropriate web-based analysis to assimilate mobile data into scientific studies, and how to share their scientific findings with a potentially large mobile audience.

Students and young scientists from all countries that are members of the UN, UNESCO or IAEA can attend the Workshop. The main purpose of the Centre is to help researchers from developing countries through a programme of training activities within a framework of international co- operation. However, scientists from developed countries are also welcome to attend. Limited funds are available for some applicants from developing countries, to be selected by the organizers. Such financial support is available only to those who attend the entire activity. Every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for theirfares (or at least half-fare) from their home country. Registration fee is not applicable.
