Preface
Software systems for wireless and mobile communications are a key component in
pervasive computing and are crucial for the materialization of easy-to-use and intelli-
gent services that people can use ubiquitously. As indicated by its acronym (MOBILe
Wireless MiddleWARE, Operating Systems, and Applications), these are the type of
systems that form the topic of the MOBILWARE conferencing series. In particular,
the goal of MOBILWARE is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to
disseminate and discuss recent advances in software systems for wireless and mobile
communications, ranging from work on communication middleware and operating
systems to networking protocols and applications.
For its second edition, held in Berlin in April 2009, the MOBILWARE Organizing
Committee decided to add a full day of workshops on topics related to the main con-
ference. Our goals were threefold:
1. Put together a high-quality workshop program consisting of a few focused work-
shops that would provide ample time for discussion, thus enabling presenters to
quickly advance their work and workshop attendees to quickly get an idea of on-
going work in selected research areas.
2. Provide a more complete picture of ongoing work by not only including technical
workshops, but also workshops on business and user aspects. We expected that this
multi-viewpoint approach would be an added value as technology, business mod-
els, and user experiences are usually interrelated.
3. Create a breeding ground for submissions for MOBILWARE 2010 and beyond.
Our call for workshop proposals reflected these goals and attracted a total of six high-
quality proposals. All proposals were written by international teams of different or-
ganizations, including teams consisting of researchers from academia and industry,
which suggested a wide interest in our goals and approach.
After a thorough review process, we accepted four workshops, two of which were
purely technical, one of a mixed technical/end-user nature, and one focusing on busi-
ness models:
• Ubi-Islands 2009, the First International Workshop on Interconnecting Ubiqui-
tous Islands Using Mobile and Next Generation Networks
• WASP 2009, the First International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks
Architectures, Simulation, and Programming
• UCPA 2009, the First International Workshop on User-Centric Pervasive
Adaptation BMMP 2009, the First International Workshop on Business Models
for New Mobile Platforms

As the MOBILWARE Workshop Chair, I am happy and proud to say that we can look
back on a very successful and smooth workshop day, which took place on April 27,
2009. For example, the Ubi-Islands workshop was well attended by about 25 participants
VI Preface
and received very positive feedback throughout. Everyone enjoyed a lively and well-
focused forum with highly inspiring talks and discussions, as was the case at UCPA
2009. BMMP 2009 was proud to gather the academic and business research commu-
nity dealing with business models for mobile platforms for the first time. They
devoted specific sessions to platform theories and concepts, mobile platform business
models, and two-sided market models for mobile platforms. BMMP involved high-
quality debates and submitted selected papers to a special issue of Telematics & In-
formatics.
On behalf of the MOBILWARE Organizing Committee I would like to thank An-
dreas Fasbender (Ubi-Islands 2009), Christian Kroiß (UCPA 2009), Pieter Ballon
(BMMP 2009), and Soledad Escolar Díaz (WASP 2009) for their excellent coordina-
tion work and making their workshop a success. I would also like to thank Paolo Bel-
lavista (MOBILWARE General Co-chair), Gergely Nagy (Conference Organization
Chair), and Carlo Giannelli (MOBILWARE Publication and Web Chair) for their
continuous support sin organizing the MOBILWARE 2009 workshops.
Next year’s edition of MOBILWARE will be held in Chicago in the USA, from June
30 until July 2, and it will again be preceded by a day of workshops. I am very much
looking forward to working with everyone again to also make the MOBILWARE 2010
workshop program a success.
