Preface
This proceedings volume includes the full research papers presented at the First Inter-
national Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services (MobiCASE)
held in San Diego, California, during October 26-29, 2009. It was sponsored by ICST
and held in conjunction with the First Workshop on Innovative Mobile User Interac-
tivity (WIMUI).
MobiCASE highlights state-of-the-art academic and industry research work in do-
main topics above the OSI transport layer with an emphasis on complete end-to-end
systems and their components. Its vision is largely influenced by what we see in the
consumer space today: high-end mobile phones, high-bandwidth wireless networks,
novel consumer and enterprise mobile applications, scalable software infrastructures,
and of course an increasingly larger user base that is moving towards an almost all-
mobile lifestyle.
This year's program spanned a wide range of research that explored new features,
algorithms, and infrastructure related to mobile platforms. We received submissions
from many countries around the world with a high number from Europe and Asia in
addition to the many from North America. Each paper received at least three inde-
pendent reviews from our Technical Program Committee members during the Spring
of 2009, with final results coming out in July. As a result of the review process, we
selected 15 high-quality papers and complemented them with six invited submissions
from leading researchers, reaching the final count of 21 papers in the program. The
papers were presented at the conference in single-track sessions, and they covered a
number of fascinating topics, including healthcare, transportation, mobile assistants,
rich mobile media, and system software. The WIMUI workshop featured six papers
on context and interactive games.
The participation throughout the MobiCASE 2009 conference and workshop was
strong from both industry and academia, and the attendees were enthusiastic about the
main theme and topics of the conference. It was often noted that the technical pro-
gram had direct relevance and importance to the research and product development
efforts of several companies, whose researchers and engineers attended the sessions.
MobiCASE further featured a lively demonstration and poster session with eight
software and hardware demonstrations and five posters. Additionally, the conference
held an industry panel discussion that included Victoria Coleman, VP of the Samsung
Computer Science Lab, and Monica Lam and Nick Bambos of Stanford University.
The panel discussion covered challenges and advantages in adopting open source as a
mobile device platform and novel server and middleware services to support cloud
computing paradigms in a mobile ecosystem.
Many people contributed to the organization of the MobiCASE. The conference
could not be held without the tremendous work done by the TPC members, each of
whom reviewed an average of five papers and provided in-depth critique and analysis
of the submissions. Additionally, thanks go to Guang Yang for handling the invited
papers, Benjamin Greenstein for chairing the workshop, Angela Nicoara and Jatinder
Pal Singh for organizing the invited panel, Angela Dalton for managing the
VI Preface
demo/poster session, and Yafei Yang for taking care of the local arrangements.
Finally, particular thanks and appreciation must be put forth for the MobiCASE Steer-
ing Committee Chair, Imrich Chlamtac, whose vision has steered and shaped this
effort.
