abstract = { Mobile interaction is now almost exclusively dependent on an intransparent cloud
infrastructure beyond the users’ control, resulting in multiple issues related to
security, privacy, and availability. While alternative approaches based on decentralized
network architectures exist, these have their own set of issues such as lack of usability
or content moderation. In this workshop, we bring together researchers from related,
but rarely interconnected fields to discuss issues and opportunities related to decentralization.
We will develop and discuss current and future scenarios for decentralized mobile
interaction, both utopian and dystopian. We invite researchers interested in implementation
and networking aspects of mobile decentralization as well as those focusing on ethical,
legal and social implications (ELSI) of these alternative approaches to the mobile
ecosystem.},
