DEADLINE EXTENSION: 7th of May 2013

*** FOCUS & GOALS ***
This International workshop on Engineering Mobile Web Applications (EMotions'2013) is focused on the theories and practices for the development of mobile Web applications. It is organized in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) that is going to held in Aalborg, Denmark, in July 2013.

The goal of this workshop is to bring the attention of participants of ICWE to the opportunities and challenges brought by recent advances on mobile technology allowing ubiquitous access to Web applications through mobile devices. We are interested in theories and practice for the development of mobile Web applications including models, methods, tools, frameworks and case studies that describe Web applications running on mobile Web browsers.

- Adaptation techniques for deploying Web sites over mobile platforms;
- Contextualization of user experience with mobile Web apps;
- End-user customizations for mobile Web apps;
- Experience reports describing actual usage of mobile Web applications;
- Frameworks and new technologies for developing mobile Web applications;
- Investigation of connection modes (e.g. connected versus disconnected mode);
- Strategies for adapting and integrate information according to the user's current (geo)location;
- Studies investigating the of actual usage of mobile Web applications;
- Successful/failures stories of developing/deploying web application on mobile platforms;
- Techniques for blending Web and native apps;

*** AUDIENCE ***
The workshop is open to both research and practitioners interested in:
- Developing new Web applications that are aimed to be used on a smartphone;
- Techniques and methods for deploying/visualizing Web applications on mobile devices
- Developing Web applications that exploit mobile device capabilities (e.g., geo-location, sensor information);
- Understands users' needs and environmental constraints related to mobile Web applications;
- Using semantic web technology to build mobile (web) apps.

The workshop is open for both the Web and Mobile Systems/Computing communities.
