SMArtphones in the Curriculum worKshop (SMACK 2011)

摘要

Smartphone sales are expected to outpace desktop/laptop computer sales in 2011. It is critical for software engineers to understand the key issues of building applications for this new platform. The mobile sensing and networking capabilities of smartphones create a unique platform for building cyberphysical and other applications that sense and respond to the environment. Moreover, social networking capabilities of these platforms offer new paradigms for dissemination of knowledge, harvesting of user relationship information, and following current events. This workshop will foster new ideas, approaches, and artifacts that can be used to support the introduction of smartphones into traditional software engineering courses (e.g., a survey course, or senior capstone design course, among others).
