*Synopsis*

Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) comprises applications and services that 
are accessible from Internet-enabled mobile devices. It involves new 
technologies, services, and business models. While it is different from 
traditional e-Commerce it can also be seen as an extension of e-Commerce 
in the sense that it, among others, makes e-Commerce available in a 
modern way to new application areas and to a new set of customers. 
Mobile phones or PDAs open the door to a slew of new applications and 
services. They follow you wherever you go, making it possible to access 
the Internet while walking down the street with friends and family or 
while driving, looking for a nearby restaurant or gas station.

The Internet is on its way to leave traces in all aspects of our life 
independently of where we are. Already today, mobile phones and PDAs 
become an indispensable part of our life as a source for all kinds of 
information and services and, especially, as our permanently available 
interface to our environment. Tomorrow, they may very well turn into 
intelligent assistants capable of anticipating many of our wishes and 
needs, such as automatically arranging for taxis to come and pick us up 
after business meetings or providing us with summaries of relevant news 
and messages left by colleagues. But, for all these changes to happen, 
key issues of interoperability, usability, security, and privacy still 
need to be addressed.

TaMoCo will become a regular and established event which will either be 
conducted as an annual or bi-annual multi-conference (depending on the 
demand). It provides scientists, practitioners as well as students a 
platform to discuss the latest trends in the above mentioned areas.

The specialty and distinguishing feature of this multi-conference is its 
openness to all kinds of initiatives. Different working groups and 
organisations cover various often highly relevant and hot topics and 
thus enrich the conference with a wide spectrum of interesting 
sub-conferences, tutorials, and events in general.

The organisers from University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of 
Paisley offer the organisational premises and the management for the 
Multi-conference on TaMoCo 2007 from 14 to 15 Jan 2008 in Paisley. 
conference symposiums begin on 14th of January 2008 and ends on 15th of 
January 2008.

Numerous initiators have proposed an exciting mix of highly attractive 
events which are presented in an integrated form in this call for papers.
