MobiCASE, the International Conference on Mobile Computing, Applications, and Services, is a confluence between academia and industry on mobile applications and services research.

Now in its sixth edition, MobiCASE is a leading scientific forum for cutting-edge research results in mobile computing, applications, and services. As in previous years, MobiCASE 2014 is scheduled to include high-quality paper presentation sessions revealing the latest in mobile computing research, industry demos of exciting mobile applications and services, and participant engagement in hands-on projects and tutorials.

Relevant topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Anticipatory Computing — e.g., predictive systems that could power mobile services such as Microsoft Cortana or Google Now
  • Mobile Advertising — e.g., location-based search and the recommendation of goods/services
  • Energy Efficiency — e.g., approaches for coping with battery limits
  • Mobile Payments — e.g., NFC-based services and other emerging technologies
  • Mobile User Interfaces — e.g., utilizing voice, eyes, gestures
  • Mobile Sensing — e.g., continuous sensing, mobile vision, mHealth
  • Wearable Platforms and Smartphones — e.g., software support, prototype hardware, sensing modalities
  • Mobile development tools and testing methodologies — e.g., bug reporting, malware identification
  • App Distribution Channels and Stores — e.g., the next steps in the evolution of app stores
  • Location-based Social Networks and Media — e.g., studies of existing or novel mobile social platforms
  • Mobile Cloud Computing and Mobile Web support — e.g., personal clouds, and proposed new architectures and standards
