Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

The World Wide Web has become a cornerstone of modern information retrieval. Easy and timely access to information is becoming crucial to many tasks we perform each day. The Web is also being increasingly used as a tool for communication and social network strengthening. The desire to be constantly connected to information and people is driving user adoption of the mobile Web, or the World Wide Web as accessed through mobile devices such as cell phones or PDAs. This panel will explore the potential of the mobile Web, examine the challenges present in designing information displays for mobile contexts, and consider future applications for this form of information retrieval.
