Proceedings of the Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems & Applications

ACM HotMobile 2010 marks the eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications and this year is located in Annapolis, Maryland; moving to the opposite US coast from our 2009 workshop in Santa Cruz, CA. HotMobile is a strong peer reviewed forum providing insight and debate into ground-breaking areas in mobile computing. Workshop submission numbers were similar to last year with a total of 61 papers. The program committee accepted 15, resulting in a 25% acceptance rate; 17 poster and demonstration submissions were also accepted. We have planned several supporting events throughout the workshop to complement our rich technical program of five paper sessions. These events include an interactive panel on "Do we trust what we sense?", and a keynote about the future users of mobile technology from Dr. Allison Druin, the Director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) and an Associate Professor in the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies. We also plan to hold a brainstorming activity over lunch on the last day, focusing on the hottest application areas in Mobile Computing, and a report-out session at end-of-day. As with previous workshops we feature a poster and demonstration session held during the reception, and doctoral consortium, allowing PhD students to present and discuss their research with the goal of obtaining early critical feedback from an audience that has a wide perspective on the challenges of mobile computing. The combination of a strong technical program and supporting events are designed to maintain the tradition of HotMobile encouraging discussion & debate, which are essential ingredients of a successful workshop. Building on last year's workshop coverage, we have asked student volunteers to summarize the discussion during the event, and present it as a workshop report in IEEE Pervasive Computing for the second quarter of 2010.
