The advances in wireless communication technologies and the
proliferation of mobile devices have enabled the realization of
intelligent environments for people to com- nicate with each other,
interact with information-processing devices, and receive a wide range
of mobile wireless services through various types of networks and
systems everywhere, anytime. This «Internet of Things» will dramatically
modify our lives allowing progress in various domains such as health,
security, and ITS (intelligent transportation systems). A key enabler of
this pervasive and ubiquitous connectivity environment is the -
vancement of software technology in various communication sectors,
ranging from communication middleware and operating systems to
networking protocols and app- cations. The international conference
series on Mobile Wireless Middleware, Oper- ing Systems, and
Applications (MOBILWARE) is dedicated to addressing emerging topics and
challenges in various mobile wireless software-related areas. The scope
of the conference includes the design, implementation, deployment, and
evaluation of middleware, operating systems, and applications for
computing and communications in mobile wireless systems. MOBILWARE 2009
was the second edition of this conference, which was made possible
thanks to the sponsorship of ICST and Create-Net and most importantly
the hard work of the TPC and reviewers.
