Mobile Computing, Wireless Communications and
U-Learning
Wireless communications technologies have enabled many of the conveniences
in our lives. Ubiquitous access to information, anywhere, anyplace, and
anytime, will characterize whole new kinds of information systems in the
21st century. These are being enabled by rapidly emerging wireless
communications system, based on WiMAX, cellular networks, wireless LANs,
etc. On the other hand,
technologies enabling e-Learning have increased the flexibility of the
locations where learning take place. Wireless communication technologies
further increase the options for these locations. Advances in wireless
communication technologies have recently provided the opportunity for
educators to create new educational models. With the trend of the
Ubiquitous-Learning
(U-Learning) the educational media are becoming more mobilized, portable and
individualized what the learning form is being modified spectacularly. This
workshop is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the areas of
mobile computing, wireless communications and U-Learning by presenting a
forum for novel results and solutions to solve various problems and
challenges foreseen in these topics.
The topical areas covered by this
workshop include but are not limited to:
-
Mobile/wireless network architectures
-
Mobile/location management in
wireless networks
