As mobile technology advances rapidly, the significance of mobile applications becomes more pronounced. The development of mobile OSes like OpenHarmony has opened up new horizons for mobile application development and management, bringing fresh possibilities to both academia and industry. The changes in programming languages (e.g., ArkTS) require the runtime system to provide more dynamic features and support for parallel capabilities. In addition, the enhanced distributed capabilities of operating systems provide convenience for the development of distributed applications, while scenarios such as device-cloud collaboration, multi-device collaboration, and cross-device migration also present new opportunities and challenges for distributed data management. At the same time, new application scenarios represented by large language models also pose new requirements for the mobile domain.

The first International APWeb-WAIM Workshop on Mobile Applications and Data Management (MADM2024) will take place on Aug 30th-Sep 1st, 2024, Jinhua, China, in conjunction with APWeb-WAIM, an annual international conference on Web and Big Data. This workshop aims to focus on innovative research on mobile application development, application and web framework, language runtime, data management, security, system supports, and so on. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with industry experts, researchers, and practitioners to explore new perspectives on mobile systems.
