Retrospect

After an exciting VLDB conference in Istanbul, we would like to take the time to once again thank all presenters, participants, and authors who made the IMMoA'12 workshop a success. Furthermore, we thank the program committee for their good work in reviewing and selecting the papers. Especially, we thank Daniela Nicklas for her inspiring keynote talk. It gave a very good insight into context modeling and its integration into mobile applications. The descriptive examples taken from her daily work with mobile and data stream applications highlighted important aspects in the research on information management in mobile applications. We also appreciated the vivid discussion in the end which showed some still open issues in the field.

We hope that you enjoyed the workshop as much as we did. We were pleased to meet you all in Istanbul and wish you success for your future work. We would be happy to offer a third edition of the workshop next year and see you there again.
