Call For Papers on Invited Session
"Intelligent Mobile Collaboration Systems and Services"

In order to get high quality papers, we invite you to submit paper to Invited Session on Intelligent Mobile Collaboration Systems and Services in International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC) 2009.

Description
The recent advancement of workflow technologies and adoption of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has much facilitated the automation of business collaboration within and across organizations to increase their competiveness and responsiveness to the fast evolving global economic environment. The widespread of mobile technologies has further resulted in an increasing demand for the support of mobile collaboration across multiple platforms anytime and anywhere. Examples include supply-chain logistics, group calendars, and dynamic human resources planning. As mobile devices become more powerful, the adoption of mobile computing is imminent. However, mobile business collaboration is not merely porting the software with an alternative user interface, but rather involves a wide range of new requirements, constraints, and technical challenges. In particular, intelligence are involved and required to achieve excellence in systems and services. This event intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, industry people, policy makers, decision makers, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Intelligent Mobile Collaboration Systems and Services (IMCSS). A journal special issue with International Journal of Services, Economics and Management (IJSEM) is under consideration.
