<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Our excellent keynotes will be given
by</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Yannick Pellet Vice President of the
Advanced Software Platform Lab at Samsung Research America </font>

and Chief Architect, IBM Mobile Platform, IBM Software Group </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mobile application usage and development
is experiencing exponential growth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more
than 300 billion applications will be downloaded annually. The mobile domain
presents new challenges to software engineering1. Mobile platforms are
rapidly changing, including diverse capabilities as GPS, sensors, and input
modes. Applications must be omni-channel and work on all platforms. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Activated on mobile platforms, modern
applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware
abilities. Applications often need to support and use third-party services.
Therefore, during development, security and authorization processes for
the dataflow must be applied. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies bring
new security data leaks challenges. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Developing such applications requires
suitable practices and tools e.g., architecture techniques that relate
to the complexity at hand; improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications
using dynamic languages and polyglot development and applications; and
testing techniques for applications that run on different devices.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This workshop aims at establishing a
community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead
further research in the mobile development area.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Goal of the Workshop</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The workshop has several goals. First,
we want to develop and create a vibrant research community of researchers
and practitioners for sharing work and leading further research in the
area of mobile software development. Second, we want to identify the most
important research problems in the mobile application development space.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The workshop also has a set of specific
technical goals:</font>
