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.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to:

*** Networking Technologies *** Personal Area Networks Body Area Networks Vehicular Networks Sensor and ad hoc networks Mobile networks convergence Wireless services and middleware platforms Cross-layer network design and optimization Data fusion techniques Agent-based data aggregation

*** Networking architectures and service models *** New generation Internet, architectures, protocols and services Web Applications and IP Multimedia Systems Next generation systems& Service-oriented techniques Network-based applications

*** Self-* Networking *** Configuration, management, and monitoring Self-organizing networks Mesh networks and autonomic systems Content-based networking Knowledge-based networking Context-Aware and Autonomic Computing Machine-to-Machine Communications

*** Mobile computing *** Integration of heterogeneous mobile networks Mobile Applications and Services Mobile multimedia systems Mobility and location management Mobile content distribution Service Discovery and publication Mobile Agents Mobile agent-based data aggregation Mobile System Performance Mobile System Devices/OS/Platforms/UI Middleware for Mobile Computing

*** Security *** Security deployment and management Security modelling, design and metrics Trust models and Trust establishment Identification, authentication, privacy and access control Large scale applications security (Web, e-mail, [m|e]-commerce/business, m-payment, m-banking) Cyber security

*** Ubiquitous computing *** User-centric networking and services Personalized access to media systems Location/context/content-aware services Multimedia indexing and retrieval Smart Homes and E-Health Web Commerce& Services Web searching, querying, mining& Web Semantics Middleware for Ubiquitous Computing Wearable computing Energy-Efficient Networking
