DESCRIPTION:This talk highlights the characteristics of engineering softwa
 re for mobile devices. The differences compared to traditional approaches 
 for web or desktop software are discussed. A model for mobile software eng
 ineering is proposed and various best-practices together with case studies
  from real-world projects are presented. Essential software engineering te
 chniques for mobile such as experience prototyping\, in-context requiremen
 ts gathering and testing\, or UI/UIX design are explained using examples a
 nd tools.\n\nThis talk is based on the article “Why Software Engineering
  for Mobile Applications is Different” published at the 8th Internationa
 l Conference on Pervasive Computing in 2010.\n\nBio\n\nDr Manfred Bortensc
 hlager is engineering manager at the Samsung Electronics Research Institut
 e in Staines\, UK. As platform evangelist lead he coordinates the activiti
 es to position and promote Samsung’s new mobile phone platform and ecosy
 stem bada within the relevant developer communities. These activities comp
 rise R&D projects\, creating training material such as demo code\, tutoria
 ls\, blog posts\, videos or the recently published “Introduction to bada
 ” book\, and organising and presenting at events such as developer days.
 \nBefore that\, Dr Manfred Bortenschlager has been working in applied rese
 arch of mobile and location based services at Salzburg Research\, an Austr
 ian research organisation for over 7 years. His main research was in the d
 omain of Pervasive Computing where he focussed on Coordination in Pervasiv
 e Environments. He could successfully establish and run a scientific works
 hop related to that topic at the IEEE WETICE series. He was leading severa
 l national and international research projects. He was responsible site ma
 nager for Salzburg Research in the EU STREP research project WORKPAD\, wit
 h a duration of 3 years and a consortium of 8 international partners. He p
 ublished 40 scientific papers.\nDr Bortenschlager holds a PhD in Computer 
 Science and a MSc in Telecommunications Engineering.\n\nContact:\nManfred
