| Motivation
Mobile applications
and services are exploding in the market today. However, typically value-added
applications have been developed as additions to the most basic application
of all, which is mobile wireless voice and data access, or developed as
specialized vertical services. Despite the proliferation of mobile
wireless services being introduced in the marketplace, it is not yet clear
which will be the killer apps and for which market segments
and in which regions. Therefore, it is critical that frameworks be
built to enable rapid creation and deployment of mobile wireless services
leveraging not only reusable components but also design and deployment
patterns, including the adaptation and optimization patterns essential
in mobile wireless environments. The challenges in building
next generation mobile wireless system include:
Providing a flexible service creation and deployment
environment
Promote reuse of existing services
Reflection of end device capabilities to provide dynamic
adaptation of content
Use of Jini and other service discovery technologies for
distributed service execution
Impact of technologies like Bluetooth[10] on mobile middleware
platform performance and scalability
Security
Efficient service provisioning and deployment mechanisms
Content Morphing
Support for provisioning services
With this workshop we
plan to discuss and discover other unearthed challenges in building such
a system as well as resolve these challenges in a collaborative manner. |
Goals
-
To discover the challenges
as well as discuss and document the design patterns and OO techniques used
to resolve these challenges for building mobile wireless systems.
-
Stimulate discussion on
the requirements and features of common APIs, both between mobile clients
and servers, and between services and the mobile application framework.
Submission Requirements
Participants will be
required to submit a 8-10 page technical paper within the workshop deadline.
