Dear Prof./Dr./Mrs./Mr.

It is our great pleasure to invite you to MoKCCA 2012 – International 
Workshop on Mobile Knowledge Centric Computing and Applications, a 
CENTERIS 2012 workshop, to be held in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, from 
3 to 5 October, 2012.

During this workshop, academics, scientists, IT/IS professionals, 
solution providers, researchers and practitioners from all over the 
world, promoting opportunities to share experiences, bring new ideas, 
debate issues, and introduce the latest developments in the largely 
multidisciplinary field of Mobile Knowledge Centric Computing and 
Applications.

All accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings 
(with ISBN). Papers can also be accepted as posters, with an extended 
abstract to be published in a book or CD-ROM of abstracts (with ISBN). 
Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend the paper for 
possible publication in international journals and in edited books.

Mobile Knowledge Centric Computing and Applications are expected to 
present autonomous, adaptable, heterogeneous, collaborative properties 
and operate in open ubiquitous environments. Next generation computing 
systems need to cope with terminal mobility (communication 
infra-structure), software mobility (services infra-structure) and user 
mobility (applications infra-structure) for ubiquitous computing support.

A plethora of valuable technical solutions and business opportunities is 
open by services and applications combining these properties.

MoKCCA 2012 seeks high-quality contributions on theoretical foundations, 
innovative design and development, services, applications, methods, 
tools, experiences, evaluation and understanding of Mobile Knowledge 
Centric Computing and Applications.
