Workshop discussions centered around the following topics: battery life, unintentional denial of service, mobile application vetting, data protection, location information, and identity management. In addition to providing a description of the workshop and capturing attendees’ input, NISTIR 8018 identifies possible areas of further research related to public safety mobile applications.
