CONFERENCE
Mobile business changed a lot in the last twelve years, rising from a niche
topic - all the way along the Gartner hype cycle - to one of the most
relevant issues for many of today's businesses and researchers. Mobility
changes users' daily lives in its private as well as in its professional
part. Mobile business created own ecosystems, constantly changes them and
even begins to change existing ecosystems in the real world, redistributing
market power in consumer-oriented industries and revolutionizing business
processes in all industries that include mobility aspects or mobile workers.
In the future, we will see mobility as the invisible norm.
Founded in 2002 in Athens, ICMB developed to the major international
research conference on mobility and mobile business. It included scenes such
as New York, Sydney and Dalian. The 2013 edition will take place in Berlin,
Germany, from 10-13 June 2013 and will be hosted by the wi-mobile Research
Group of the University of Augsburg, together with the SIG Mobility and
Mobile IS of the German Informatics Society (GI). The conference is aimed at
addressing a key theme on „Mobility — the invisible norm“.
The core of ICMB 2013 is a two-day academic conference program. Acceptance
of submitted papers will be based on quality, relevance and originality.
Further ICMB 2013 events will include a workshop program, a doctoral
consortium with renowned scholars and industry visits in Berlin. ICMB 2013
will be co-located with MMS 2013, the national conference on Mobility and
Mobile IS of the German Informatics Society.
Since this year, ICMB 2013 is an AIS-affiliated conference. Proceedings of
ICMB 2013 will be made available on AIS Electronic Library (AISeL). There
will be a journal special issue for outstanding papers, negotiations are
underway.
