WMSC ’16 invites papers for the Second International Workshop on Mobile and Situated Crowdsourcing, co-located with the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2016). The day-long workshop will be held on September 12 or 13 2016, before the main conference. The workshop will be conducted as a single mini-track, in which each participant will present his/her workshop paper (10 minutes), followed by a short (5 minutes) discussion. The workshop will also include panel discussion and informal coffee breaks for networking with other researchers.

We are giving talks at the following events:

• Shin’ichi Konomi & Tomoyo Sasao (2016). Crowd Geofencing. The 2nd EAI International Conference on IoT in Urban Space, Tokyo, Japan, May 24-25.
• Kazuki Wakasa & Shin’ichi Konomi (2016). Weaving Urban Spaces through Visible Green to Increase the Awareness of Green Networks. The 2nd EAI International Conference on IoT in Urban Space, Tokyo, Japan, May 24-25.
• Shin’ichi Konomi, Kazuki Wakasa, Masaki Ito & Kaoru Sezaki (2016). User Participatory Sensing for Disaster Detection and Mitigation in Urban Environments. Fourth International Conference, DAPI 2016, Held as Part of HCI Interational 2016, Toronto, Canada, July 17 – 22.
