SYNOPSIS Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services that are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices. It involves new technologies, services, and business models. Whilst it is different from traditional e-Commerce it can also be considered as an extension of it since, among other reasons, it makes e-Commerce available, in a modern way, to new application areas and to a new set of customers. Mobile devices, such as phones or PDAs open the door to a great assortment of new applications and services. They follow you wherever you go, enabling us to access the Internet at any moment under any circumstances letting you access several different services should they be necessary (i.e looking for a nearby restaurant or gas station while walking down the street with friends and family). These new situations also imply new engineering requirements, as well as fresh development tools and methodologies.
The Internet has become an essential component in all aspects of our life independently of our location, the time of the day or environment. In the same line, already today, mobile phones and PDAs have become an indispensable part of our life as a source of all kinds of information and services and, especially, as our permanently available interface to our environment. Under this scenario, the number of mobile services available is constantly increasing and evolving towards manageable and practical applications. Tomorrow, they may very well turn into intelligent assistants capable of anticipating many of our wishes and needs; but, for all these changes to happen, key issues of interoperability, usability, security and privacy still need to be addressed under the special scope of mobile services and commerce. Tamoco main conference has been divided into five different tracks, as follows: Track 1: Web Services for Mobile Devices Track 2: Mobile Learning and Mobile Technology for Education Track 3: Mobile Technologies in Urban Systems Track 4: Context Aware Services and Mobile Information Systems for the Extended Enterprise Track 5: Autonomic Computing for Mobile Commerce Further information on every track can be found at the conference main site http://personales.ya.com/gobellot/Tamoco2009
