SYNOPSIS
Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services
that are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices.
It involves new technologies, services, and business models.
Whilst it is different from traditional e-Commerce it can also be
considered as an extension of it since, among other reasons, it
makes e-Commerce available, in a modern way, to new application
areas and to a new set of customers. Mobile devices, such as phones
or PDAs open the door to a great assortment of new applications and
services. They follow you wherever you go, enabling us to access
the Internet at any moment under any circumstances letting you
access several different services should they be necessary (i.e
looking for a nearby restaurant or gas station while walking down
the street with friends and family). These new situations also
imply new engineering requirements, as well as fresh development tools
and methodologies.

The Internet has become an essential component in all aspects of
our life independently of our location, the time of the day or
environment. In the same line, already today, mobile phones and PDAs
have become an indispensable part of our life as a source of all
kinds of information and services and, especially, as our permanently
available interface to our environment. Under this scenario, the
number of mobile services available is constantly increasing and
evolving towards manageable and practical applications. Tomorrow, they
may very well turn into intelligent assistants capable of
anticipating many of our wishes and needs; but, for all these
changes to happen, key issues of interoperability, usability,
security and privacy still need to be addressed under the special
scope of mobile services and commerce. Tamoco main conference has
been divided into five different tracks, as follows:

-- Track 1: Web Services for Mobile Devices
-- Track 2: Mobile Learning and Mobile Technology for Education
-- Track 3: Mobile Technologies in Urban Systems
-- Track 4: Context Aware Services and Mobile Information
Systems for the Extended Enterprise
-- Track 5: Autonomic Computing for Mobile Commerce

A PhD symposium will be collocated with the conference on the 15th of
September. Further information on every track can be found at the
