Call For Papers - CFP

(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 Business Collaboration (MBC) 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.
