*-- FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS --*

***TAMoCo'14 - Techniques and Applications for Mobile Communications & 
Commerce *

*http://fedcsis.org/tamoco***

/as part of/

*Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems 
(FedCSIS’14) *

*Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014*

*CONFERENCE BACKGROUND AND GOALS*

Mobile technology became one of the most vibrant and stimulating areas 
driving forward the ICT society of the 21^st century. Mobile 
communication networks have evolved into the new delivery platform and 
services consumption models for many industries and government 
organizations worldwide.

Mobile devices, such as smart phones or tablets, open the door to a 
great assortment of new applications and services. This may also include 
new types of specific application settings such as medical environments, 
support for disabled people, industrial workspaces, process monitoring, 
automatics and diagnostics or measurement activities in remote and 
distributed environments. Location, other context information and 
personal data are used to tailor services directly to the needs of the 
user. This leads to pervasive environments in which users can always 
access the Internet. While this seems to be an exciting development it 
also raises substantial security and privacy concerns which need to be 
properly addressed.

Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services that 
are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices. It involves new 
technologies, services, and business models. Whilst it is different from 
traditional e-Commerce it can also be considered as an extension of it 
since, among other reasons, it makes e-Commerce available, in a modern 
way, to new application areas and to a new set of customers.

The goal of TAMoCo is to bring together researchers and practitioners 
that work in different aspects of mobile communications and services in 
the context of business and industrial applications. This includes the 
incorporation of web services and cloud-based services, autonomic mobile 
computing, and the integration and interplay with urban systems, 
industrial settings, medical environments and other contexts. Research 
contributions in application areas such as mobile learning, human 
centered design, support of disabled people, ubiquitous computing and 
extended enterprise are also welcome in TAMoCo’14. Finally, security is 
perhaps the most important factor for the success of mobile 
communications, commerce and mobile applications.

*TOPICS OF INTEREST*
