5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems May 27 - 28, Gothenburg, Sweden - Co-located with ICSE 2018 May 27 - June 3

The MOBILESoft Organizing Committee members welcome you to MOBILESoft 2018 and cordially invite contributions related to all aspects of mobile software engineering!

Please register to the new MOBILESoft Facebook Group and follow MOBILESoft on Twitter.

In recent years, the massive increase in the use of mobile applications has greatly influenced the way people go about their daily life. The number of available mobile applications has grown enormously since the establishment of app stores and marketplaces that enable users to download and seamlessly install apps. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing and include diverse capabilities such as GPS, cameras, several wireless communications (WLAN, 4G, RFID etc), a variety of on-device memory and disk capacities, and various sensors.

MOBILESoft provides a working conference-style forum for the discussion and presentation of innovative contributions to the research and practice of the design, development, validation, execution, and evolution of mobile applications.

MOBILESoft 2018 comprises four main tracks: - technical papers, - visions, - tool demos and mobile apps, - student research competition.

Topics of Interest (common to all tracks)

• Development environments and tools
• Testing, maintenance, verification, and evolution
• Patterns, frameworks, and product lines
• Refactoring, restructuring, and renovation
• Program transformation and optimization
• Empirical studies and metrics
• User experience and new input devices
• Hybrid versus native applications
• Agile or model-driven development
• Application and system security
• Mobile Cloud Computing
• Static and dynamic analysis
• Debugging techniques and tools
• Programming languages
• Mobile programming and software engineering education and training
• The role of mobile in the context of the Internet of Things
