Information becomes ubiquitous, highly distributed and at the same time accessible from everywhere at any time. Information access takes place in highly dynamic and instable networks. Nevertheless, users and application developers will expect information processing to continue under similar guarantees as those offered by today's stationary and more or less centralized systems, even if some nodes of the pervasive information network are (temporarily) disconnected and/or are in motion. Examples for these guarantees are the ones given by database management systems, e.g., consistency and durability of data. Additional challenges stem from the fact that mobile devices, in particular embedded devices and sensors, are less powerful than their stationary counterparts; they are smaller (resulting, e.g., in smaller in- and output devices and less available storage), have restricted energy supplies and communicate via expensive and unreliable wireless communication media. This workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing ideas, challenges, and opportunities for data management and data access technology in pervasive information systems. New and existing concepts and techniques shall be considered in the light of the rapidly increasing mobility of users and the great advances in system infrastructures, mobile devices, and sensor technologies. Research papers presenting theoretical results, perspective solutions, and practical developments are welcome. Position papers are also welcome and encouraged. TOPICS - Modelling location and mobility semantics - Infrastructure support for mobility - Mobility awareness and adaptability - Location-dependent, context-based querying - Designing location-aware, context-aware services - Discovery and composition of ubiquitous services - Tracking moving objects and mobile users - Mobile sensor and stream data management - Continuous querying and data stream processing - Mobile data dissemination and delivery - Mobile data replication and synchronization - Self-organizing, self-tuning components - Information usage in ad-hoc networks - Pervasive transactional / workflow processing - Quality of service for pervasive computing systems - Mobile access and advanced user interfaces - Security and privacy in ubiquitous systems PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must be unpublished and not exceed 12 pages strictly following Springer's LNCS style. LNCS formatting guidelines and templates can be found at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Authors shall submit their papers electronically to tuerker(a)inf.ethz.ch before January 9, 2004. PDF format is preferred, but postscript format is also acceptable. Accepted papers will be published in the informal workshop proceedings. Selected papers will appear in the post-proceedings, which most probably will be published in the LNCS series of Springer. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present their work.

August, 2004 GENERAL INFORMATION With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged.

(anasipur(a)uncc.edu) SCOPE: Multihop networking has experienced rapid growth in the last decade with applications ranging from battlefield and disaster area networking to wireless LANs for the home and offices. Recent technological developments have led to newer possibilities for applications such as networking of large arrays of wireless sensors and development of wireless community networks. However, design of multihop networks continue to pose a myriad of challenging problems that exist across multiple disciplines. These include issues in the physical layer, network protocol development, operating system, low-power circuit design, signal processing, and distributed algorithms. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers on different aspects of the current issues on multihop wireless wireless networks with special emphasis on performance modeling and protocol development. We encourage submission of high-quality papers that report original work in both theoretical and experimental research areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Physical layer design - Medium Access Control - Routing - Network Control and Management - Operating system and middleware - Data storage and database - Energy conservation techniques - Distributed and collaborative algorithms for multihop networks - Signal processing techniques - Performance evaluation and modeling of multihop networks - Security issues - Network reliability/survivability - Multimedia and QoS - Testbed results - Applications DATES: Deadlines for Submissions: December 6, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: December 29, 2003 Camera-Ready Copy Received: January 26, 2004 Workshop: April 14-17, 2004 SUBMISSION: Submit an extended abstract not exceeding 8 pages, including figures.
