  Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics on
  Semantic Web in a Mobile World

*** Apologies for Cross-Postings ***

Description
===========
Mobile users’ information needs are becoming more important than ever.
It is estimated that access to the Internet by mobile phones will exceed
desktop computers by 2013 (http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=
1278413). This will make Internet-enabled mobile devices the key access
point to the information and service infrastructure of the Internet.
When accessing the web with a mobile device, one is not only overwhelmed
with the information provided but also hampered by the limitations
mobile devices have such as limited interaction possibilities and
smaller display size. On the other hand, mobile devices provide various
sensors, for instance GPS/aGPS, accelerometer, compass, microphone, and
cameras. These sensors can enable capturing the users’ context and using
the context to addressing the mobile users’ needs.
The Semantic Web is of high benefit for mobile computing. Not only does
it provide a common interlingua for devices to reason and negotiate
about context, it also provides a lot of “facts” that can be used in
inferring context, such as knowledge about individuals, places,
organizations, and events. The availability of such information has
blossomed since the advent of the Linked Data (http://linkeddata.org/)
movement in 2007. However, such a Mobile Semantic Computing is still in
its early beginnings. 
In this special issue, we invite original work in the area of Mobile
Semantic Computing that show innovative solutions and demonstrate the
benefits of semantic technologies for mobile devices and mobile
applications. Besides a solid research contribution, we expect systems
and applications that have been evaluated with respect to its
usefulness. In addition, we like to see contributions that share their
data set or make services they use publicly available.
