Mobile application usage and development is experiencing exponential growth. According to Gartner, by 2016 more than 200 billion total apps will have been downloaded. The mobile domain presents new challenges to software engineering. Mobile platforms are rapidly changing and include diverse capabilities such as GPS, cameras, multiple input modes, wireless communications on many frequencies and bandwidths, a variety of on-device memory and disk capacities, and various sensors. Applications must function on a wide range of platforms. Mobile applications must be elastic and scale on demand according to the hardware’s abilities. Many applications support and use third-party services, requiring application development to include effective security and authorization processes for those dataflows. Bring your own device (BYOD) policies offer new security challenges, including guarding against data leaks on behalf of both employer and employee data privacy. Efficient development and optimization of secure mobile applications requires new tools and practices that relate to the complexity at hand, such as improved refactoring tools for hybrid applications using dynamic languages; polyglot development and applications; and testing techniques for applications that run on different devices.

The workshop has several goals. First, we want to develop relationships to create a vibrant research community in the area of mobile software development. Second, we want to identify the most important research problems for mobile software development.

The workshop also has a set of technical goals:
* Investigate new directions of model driven development in the context of mobile software development.
* Examine the lifecycle of mobile software development and how it relates to the software engineering lifecycle.
* Explore and evaluate existing techniques of mobile software development.
* Bring together people from both academia and industry to talk and learn about real problems relating to mobile software engineering.

Submission Instructions
Your paper must conform to the ACM SIGPLAN Conference Format, 10 point font. Note that by default the SIGPLAN Conference Format produces papers in 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word, you may wish to use the provided Word template that supports this font size. Please include page numbers in your submission. Setting the preprint option in the LaTeX \documentclass command generates page numbers. Please also ensure that your submission is legible when printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible. Follow Author Kit instructions emailed to authors, for final paper submissions for proceedings.

Submit your paper in Adobe PDF via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobiledeli2015

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.)

Goals
This workshop aims at establishing a community of researchers and practitioners to share their work and lead to further research in mobile software engineering.

Distinguished keynote speaker:
Robert C. Seacord (Founder, Secure Coding Institute) speaking on “Mobile security”
