> The International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB), held annually in early summer, is the definitive worldwide scholarly event bringing together academics, practitioners, and policy makers to debate ongoing developments in the field of mobile and wireless technologies, applications, and markets.
> ICMB focuses on debating the commercialization of new business models exploiting wireless and mobile technologies by presenting research results and future perspectives for the development and sustainable deployment of mobile applications and services. The ICMB program comprises:
> o Outstanding keynote speakers;
> o Compelling parallel sessions for paper presentations;
> o A superior social program to enable further networking and exchange of views between participants.
>
> The ICMB Standing Committee warmly invites proposals to host the 11th or 12th International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB 2012 or 2013). Prior conferences have taken place in:
> * ICMB2002: Athens, Greece
> * ICMB2003: Vienna, Austria
> * ICMB2004: New York, USA
> * ICMB2005: Sydney, Australia
> * ICMB2006: Copenhagen, Denmark
> * ICMB2007: Toronto, Canada (http://www.mbusiness2007.org)

> * ICMB2010: Athens, Greece (http://www.mbusiness2010.org)
> * ICMB2011: Como, Italy
>
> Academic institutions or research organisations with a proven track record of research in mBusiness interested in hosting ICMB in 2012 or 2013 should submit an application to the chair of the Standing Committee, Eusebio Scornavacca (Eusebio.Scornavacca at vuw.ac.nz<mailto:Eusebio.Scornavacca at vuw.ac.nz>) by December 1st, 2010. The application should contain at least the following information:
> o Proposed Venue (city, place, information about capacity, etc.)
> o Proposed Dates (should be in June to ensure continuity of conferences)
> o Proposed Theme (this can then be negotiated with the SC)
> o Proposed Conference Structure (streams, tracks, etc.)
> o Proposed Chairs. The following is the minimum set of roles: General Chair, Program Chair, Research Track Chair. Attention should be paid to proper geographical distribution of chairs. Candidates need to justify proposals for governance structures other than those used in past conferences.
> o Indicative Budget (containing at least expected number of participants, income, costs, conference fees, etc.)

> 6. Semantic net of Chinese words,

> 7. Ontology of Chinese words,

> 8. Standards (Notations) of Chinese words (Some of these have been done

> 9. Reform of Chinese words: Three core tasks: Simplification, pinyin
