Track: Collaboration Systems and Technology
Minitrack: Mobile Technologies and Collaboration

The Mobile Technologies and Collaboration (MTC) mini-track will focus on the rapidly changing and evolving use of mobile computing technologies for human-to-human and human-to-machine interaction, mobile commerce (m-commerce) and collaboration. A broad range of topics and research approaches will be examined within the MTC mini-track. We are particularly interested in those topics that are likely to promote discussion within the sessions.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
* Conceptual/theory development papers that are well focused, logically argued, and have the potential to define the scope of MTC research and practice
* Experimental papers that are theoretically motivated, yet whose findings have the potential to interest practitioners
* Field studies that develop new insight that has the potential to change current practice or lead to new theories
* System design and development papers that move beyond the description of systems and their use by building new concepts for the design and use of future systems in a variety of settings
* User adoption, acceptance, and diffusion for specific technologies, environments and / or applications
* User experiences that describe the deployment and management of MTC environments in education (e.g., wireless campus), organizations (e.g., mobile wireless workforce), and society (e.g., wireless shopping malls)
