April 2003 in Erlangen --------------------------------- Die Zahl mobiler Rechnersysteme nimmt in den unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsbereichen immer mehr zu. Nicht nur Notebook und PDA, sondern vor allem eine Vielzahl eingebetteter Systeme spie- len hierbei eine immer größere Rolle. Letztlich handelt es sich bei all diesen Systemen um mehr oder weniger heterogen aufgebaute, mobile verteilte Systeme. Diese Systeme stellen inzwischen hohe An- forderungen an die Softwareinfrastruktur, die über heutige Standard-Betriebssysteme oft bereits weit hinausgehen. Über diese Fragen und über einige weitere Forschungsarbeiten auf dem Gebiet Betriebssysteme in Unternehmen und an Universitäten wird auf dem diesjährigen Frühjahrstreffen der Fachgruppe Be- triebssysteme unter dem Thema Mobile Systeme, Selbstorganisation, Context Awareness berichtet. Das Programm hängt als pdf-Datei an dieser Mail. Das diesjährige Frühjahrstreffen fällt mit der Emeritierung von Prof. Dr. Fridolin Hofmann, Inhaber des Erlanger Lehrstuhls für Betriebssysteme seit 1972, zusammen. Professor Hofmann hat in dieser Zeit die Arbeit verschiedener Fachgruppen der GI, vor allem natürlich die der Fachgruppe und des früheren Arbeitskreises Betriebssyteme immer sehr aktiv unterstützt. Die Fachgruppenleitung hat deshalb beschlossen, die Akademische Feier anlässlich der Emeritierung von Professor Dr. rer. nat. F. Hofmann in das Programm dieses Frühjahrstreffens am Freitag Nachmittag mit aufzunehmen. Alle Teilneh- mer des Fachgruppentreffens sind herzlich dazu eingeladen. Zur Teilnahme am Treffen der Fachgruppe melden Sie sich bitte möglichst bald über die WWW-Anmeldeseite der Tagung an: http://www.techfak.uni-erlangen.de/fgbs/Aktivitaeten/Treffen/2003-Erlangen/… Organisation: Dr. Jürgen Kleinöder Universität Erlangen, Informatik 4 Martensstr. 1 91058 Erlangen Tel.: (09131) 85 - 2 80 28 / 2 72 77 Fax: (09131) 85 - 2 87 32 E-Mail: jk(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de WWW-Seiten: http://www.betriebssysteme.org/Aktivitaeten/Treffen/2003-Erlangen/ Tagungsort: Universität Erlangen Technische Fakultät (Universität Südgelände) (Martensstr. 1 / Erwin-Rommel-Str. 60) Mensa-/Hörsaalgebäude, Konferenzsaal K1 Beginn: 03.04.2003, 14:15 Uhr Ende: 04.03.2003, 16:30 Uhr Hotelreservierungen müssen selbst vorgenommen werden.

April hier in Karlsruhe einen Workshop zum Thema "Persistenz, Skalierbarkeit, Transaktionen - Datenbankmechanismen für mobile Anwendungen". Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung mobilen Rechnens dürfte das Thema auch für viele von Ihnen von Interesse sein, die nicht zu mobilen Datenbanken forschen. Wir würden uns daher freuen, viele Teilnehmer aus unserer Fakultät begrüßen zu dürfen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Birgitta König-Ries Call for Participation Persistenz, Skalierbarkeit, Transaktionen - Datenbankmechanismen für mobile Anwendungen Workshop des GI Arbeitskreises Mobile Datenbanken und Informationssysteme 10. und 11.

Mobile Rechner gewinnen zusehends an Bedeutung. Sie ermöglichen zum einen die Entwicklung neuartiger Anwendungsfelder (z.B. lokationsabhängige Dienste), zum anderen die Verwendung traditioneller Anwendungen durch mobile Nutzer. Mobile Rechner bringen aber nicht nur neue Chancen, sondern auch neue Herausforderungen mit sich. Zentrale Fragestellungen sind etwa: Wie sollten Daten zwischen mobilen Klienten und stationären Servern verteilt werden? Wie können diese verteilten Daten konsistent gehalten werden? Wie kann für (anfällige) mobile Geräte Persistenz von Daten garantiert werden? Wie können geeignete Daten auf mobile Geräte repliziert werden? Wie kann eine große Zahl mobiler Klienten unterstützt werden? Ziel des Workshops ist es Vertretern von Hochschulen, Produktherstellern und Anwendern mobiler Technologie die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich zu diesen Themen auszutauschen. Über eine rege Teilnahme würden wir uns sehr freuen!

The Workshop on Economics of Peer-to-Peer Systems will bring together for the first time researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss the economic characteristics of P2P systems, application of economic theories to P2P system design, and future directions and challenges in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - incentives and disincentives for cooperation - distributed algorithmic mechanism design - reputation and trust - reliability, identity, and attack resistance - network externalities and scale economies - public goods and club formation - accounting and settlement mechanisms - payment and currency systems - user behavior and system performance - measurement studies - leveraging heterogeneity without compromising anonymity - economic impact to network providers - interconnection of P2P networks The program of the workshop will be a combination of invited talks, paper presentations, and discussion. Workshop attendance will be limited to ensure a productive environment. Each potential participant should submit a position paper that expresses a novel or interesting problem, offers a specific solution, reports on actual experience, or advances a research agenda. Participants will be invited based on the originality, technical merit and topical relevance of their submissions, as well as the likelihood that the ideas expressed in their submissions will lead to insightful discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published on the workshop website. Submission guidelines: Submissions of position papers are due April 1, 2003, and should not exceed 5 pages.
