Challenge Area 1: Mobile App Legal & Acquisition Best Practices
Overview
This session will determine the top priority acquisition and legal implications associated with creating mobile applications and reusing them across government agencies through app stores. It will also develop recommendations on how to address these issues, taking into account viewpoints from government, commercial, and academia.
Activities
- Identify the key legal and acquisition issues associated mobile apps type during a typical lifecycle
- Determine legal and acquisition issues associated with sharing and reusing apps across government agencies
- Rank identified issues by relative importance
- Identify the natural order in which issues should be addressed along with recommendations on how to address them
Output
- List of ordered issues
- Recommendations on how to address acquisition and legal issues
Moderators
- Kimberly Hancher, Chief Information Officer, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
- Diane Hanf, MITRE
Challenge Area 2: Impacts of the Emerging Internet of Things on the Government Enterprise
Overview
This session will identify aspects an organization should consider when implementing technologies and concepts that are encompassed by the Internet of Things (IoT). The session will go beyond the hype of IoT and identify the practical implications associated with adopting this emerging concept.
Activities
- Define a practical working definition of Internet of Things as it pertains to the government
- Identify impacts the IoT will have on mission and data centers
- Determine security shortfalls and provide recommendations on what needs to be done to secure IoT
- Define challenges and recommendations to current technology on-boarding processes
Output
- Recommendations required to secure Internet of Things

Challenge Area 3: How to Embrace Contextually Aware & Wearable Computing
Overview
This session will look deep into the brave new world of contextually aware applications and wearable computing. While business applications of the past have largely delivered static content, mobile computing has rapidly enhanced user experience such that users are coming to expect personalized interactions with their data. This can have an impact to organization’s security and legal matters. It also has direct impact on in house development and testing procedures. Finally, it forces us to view how this computing model impacts us as individual organizations and as a whole.
Activities
- Explore security impact of wearable computing, both from employees and outsiders perspectives
- Explore legal impact of wearable computing devices both inside and outside of controlled spaces
- Discover where contextually aware computing has already impacted the federal government and capture pros/cons
- Discuss development and testing environments and how they differ from other environments
- Discuss internal training and awareness impact
- Discuss available tool sets that exist in this arena
Output
- Recommendations for setting up a development environment for contextually aware applications
- Recommendations for mitigating security risks associated with contextually aware apps
- A list of legal aspects related to wearable computing in the workplace
Moderators
- Jared Ondricek, MITRE
- Craig Ano, Samsung
Challenge Area 4: Integrating Mobility Into the Enterprise – Moving Beyond Mobile Application Development (MAD)/Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Overview
This session will focus on the impacts mobile technologies have on the Enterprise. It will go beyond the technical aspects, and look at how we must re-think the Enterprise, and how people work in a mobility enabled organization. This session will document the considerations organizations should address after basic mobility technologies and processes are established, in order to realize the efficiencies mobility offers.
Activities
- Define the scope of mobile technology on the Enterprise: SmartPhone, Tablets, Internet of Things
- Compare the Enterprise’s mobility enabled operational model vs. the traditional operational model
- Detail how people work and collaborate in a mobile enabled Enterprise
- Describe the ideal Enterprise required to support this new mobile paradigm (Includes people, processes and technology)
Output
- Reference architecture of the ideal Enterprise, supporting mobile technologies
- Identifying changes to mobile end-points and Enterprise support strategies
- Set of recommend courses of action to support transitional strategy for the Enterprise of the future
- Set of recommendation to support the management and support for the increasing number of mobile end-points
