The 2nd International Workshop on Pandemic Mobile Services and Apps
In conjunction with
The 19th International Conference on Mobile Systems and Pervasive Computing (MobiSPC 2022)
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
August 9-11, 2022
Call for Papers
Mobile apps and services have garnered particular attention in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The most discussed topic is that of contact-tracing apps. On the one hand, they can be a suitable instrument to get better information about how a virus proliferates. On the other hand, contact tracing apps may constitute a fundamental challenge in the light of data privacy, and usability. Besides contact tracing, many other mobile services have been identified, which can be helpful during a pandemic. To mention only a few, diaries, tipp apps, or symptom checkers have been implemented in a rather short period of time. However, less insights exist which of these approaches are actually how useful. Less experiences and results have been reported what aspects actually improve the acceptance of these apps so that many users utilize them on a frequent basis. For the COVID-19 pandemic, only apps and mobile services can reveal new insights and eventually help if enough and representative data can be gathered. Recently, literature reviews were presented on the development and use of pandemic apps. Interestingly, less papers can be found that address technical issues and development insights in the context of pandemic mobile services and apps. Therefore, this workshop seeks papers and results in the context of pandemic mobile services and apps, with a special focus on technical issues and insights that emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19.
This workshop serves as a forum to present and discuss original contributions, including theoretical and empirical evaluations, as well as practical and industrial experiences, with emphasis on results that solve open research problems when combining services and smart mobile device technology to deal with challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the workshop encourages researchers to submit preliminary work, and position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view on these subjects and related fields.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues. We especially welcome early-stage ideas and preliminary results. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages, including references. Papers should be prepared according to the guidelines for Procedia Computer Science by Elsevier (Guidelines, LaTeX Template, Word Template). Each submission will receive at least three independent, blind peer reviews. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop. All accepted papers will be published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line. Procedia Computer Science is hosted by Elsevier and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect and will be freely available worldwide.
