     Scope of the Workshop

    Geographical mobility has become an essential component of today’s workforce. This type of mobility is an effective way of utilizing the finite time duration between any two activities such as the travel time duration between source and destination. This facility requires that the workforce is continuously connected to the global information space from where the desired data can be accessed. This workshop is concerned with the investigation, implementation, and validation of continuous connectivity state, which we define in terms of time and space. Significant amount of research work has been done in this area and industries are continuously enhancing the power of continuous connectivity to serve ever demanding consumers. However, a lot more needs to be done before we can claim that we have accomplished the present version of continuous connectivity state. The present list of mobile gadgets is not only impressive but it also shows us the tempting future of this technology. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from industry and academia to share their achievements. Furthermore, it aims to identify how the workforce is adapting to what is being presented to them. Some of the important topics it plans to cover are location aware computing, location-dependent query processing, management of mobile transactional activities, data caching, wireless data dissemination, mobile web, mobile databases, ubiquitous computing, etc., and the papers (non-proprietary) in these and more related areas will be on the venue of the workshop.

     The topics of Interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
