WORKSHOP THEME AND SCOPE

The recent developments of mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive
technologies have generated a wide range of opportunities for
enhance physical marketplaces and for pushing traditional commerce beyond
physical locations of stores, restaurants, and shopping malls.  Wireless
and mobile peer-to-peer technology is becoming the facilitator for new
ambient location-based commerce, also frequently referred to as
l-commerce.  l-commerce is a fusion of mobile commerce and context aware
computing.  It exploits consumers proximity to marketplaces by
electronically extending the stores physical area to cover potential
customers before they walk into stores.  The virtual expansion of the
marketplace has the potential of being a powerful tool for consumers by
providing information and services relevant to their current location.
Once a customer is inside the store, ambient services can further enhance
consumers shopping experiences by providing consumers with recommendations
and other helpful product information. Ambient commerce services allow
personalization and custom context-sensitive filtering to consumers.

The vision of l-commerce is not limited to the traditional
business-to-consumer commerce.  It also encapsulates mobile peer-to-peer
commerce where mobile peers trade and exchange information, services, and
other digital goods.  l-commerce also includes business-to-business
opportunities by allowing small shops to join and form virtual
partnerships therefore increasing their presence in the local marketplace.

The aim of the workshop is to identify and discuss the technical and
business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in ambient and
location-based commerce and applications.  Location-based Mobile Commerce
Workshop (l-Commerce 06) invites authors to submit original technical
papers or position papers, describing current research and visions of the
future.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
* Middleware and Frameworks Supporting l-commerce.
* Ambient Services and Applications.
* Data Management, Personalization and User Profiles in l-commerce Environments.
* Context Management for l-commerce.
* Discovery of Digital Product, Goods and Services in l-commerce Environments.
* Mobile Components (Mobile Agents) and Agent Technologies.
* Intelligent Graphical User Interface (GUI) for l-commerce.

* Challenges of Mobile Portals and Hotspots for l-commerce applications.
* Vehicular Mobile Commerce.
* Impact of GPS and RFID tracking technology on l-commerce.
