Abstract

The mobile space is evolving at an astonishing rate with over 4.1 billion subscribers in existence. The world is also witnessing an explosion in social web services with more users seeking novel ways of interacting with friends and family. We are interested in the combination of these two exciting research spaces: the social web and the mobile web. We believe that the social mobile web is going to be a highly influential research area in the near future and given the huge growth that both these fields have experienced in recent times we feel that now is an excellent time to discuss this nascent research space. This workshop continues the successful social mobile web workshop held as part of SocialCom in 2009. The workshop explores the current state of the social mobile web and combines technical presentations, demos and position papers to drive interaction and discussion among participants.
