Mobile and Pervasive Commerce

Track Chairs:

Els van de Kar: Delft University of Technology
Norman Sadeh: Carnegie Mellon University

The emergence of a pervasive computing infrastructure that combines computing, sensing, communication and actuation is opening the door to the development of a broad range of novel applications and services. Mobile commerce, RFID-based applications or location-based services are just early manifestations of what is still to come, yet they already provide us with important lessons about the opportunities and potential pitfalls associated with these technologies.

This track invites original unpublished contributions detailing novel technologies, applications or business models for mobile and pervasive commerce as well as lessons learned from early deployment efforts. The track is particularly interested in interdisciplinary work that cuts across technological, business and usability aspects associated with mobile and pervasive commerce; e.g. how mobile and pervasive commerce services should be designed considering this interdisciplinary setting. It is understood that most contributions are likely to only address a relatively small subset of these issues. Articles on security and privacy issues relating to mobile and pervasive commerce are also strongly encouraged.
