*Workshop Theme**:***

The wide deployment of wireless mobile technologies and the significant
increase in

the number of mobile device users have created a very strong demand for
emerging

mobile commerce and healthcare services based on today’s wireless network

technologies. This trend has provided many new business opportunities and
challenges

to e-commerce vendors, mobile service providers, mobile content publishers,
mobile

technology providers and solution integrators. Living in a wireless world
changes and

enhances people’s life in many ways, such as communications, learning,
e-commerce,

telemedicine and telehealthcare services. At the same time, businesses and

government agencies are confronted with new pressure for technology update,

that is, how to provide customers and users with reliable and secure mobile

applications and efficient and user-friendly mobile services.

To meet this increasing demand on mobile services, people are looking for
innovative

ideas to create next generation mobile services and systems. Mobile service
has

become a very hot research subject in both business and research
communities.

The major theme of this workshop is to study new business models, emerging
mobile

technology, and engineering methods to build the next generation of
mobile commerce


and healthcare services and systems supporting mobile users anywhere at
anytime.

*Goals**:***

The 7th International Workshop on Mobile Commerce and Healthcare Services

(WMCS2011) is a forum to bring together business people, researchers,
scientists,

software architects, and industry professionals to discuss innovative ideas
and diverse

topics on next generation mobile commerce and healthcare services. Using
this forum,

researchers and practitioners can exchange issues, challenges, new business
models

and structures, and new technologies and solutions.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original and research
papers

addressing business and technical issues, challenges, solutions, and
technologies in

building mobile wireless software systems and applications. All submissions
will be

peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee.

Accepted papers will be included in the SUComS2011 workshop proceedings.
