CALL FOR PAPERS
With the advance in mobile wireless communication technology, research in distributed computing is beginning to extend its scope to address problems relevant to mobile environments. Mobile distributed computing has emerged as a discipline of distributed systems research and practice toward support for mobility. It is concerned with creating solutions using mobile communication networks and mobile computing devices to enable the sharing of distributed resources/services and to facilitate remote collaborations while people work away from the fixed, wired facilities.
MDC 2006 is the fourth in series. Following the success of the first three editions -- MDC 2003 in Rhode Island, USA, MDC 2004 in Tokyo, Japan, and MDC 2005 in Columbus, USA -- MDC 2006 provides a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all aspects of mobile distributed computing.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Architectures and systems for mobile distributed computing - Distributed applications in mobile environments - Distributed algorithms for mobile computing - Synchronization and coordination in mobile environments - Networking protocols for distributed mobile computing - Cooperating mobile agents - Environments, middleware and tools for mobile distributed computing - Operating system support for mobile distributed computing - Fault tolerance and security in mobile distributed environments - Real-time issues in mobile distributed computing - Context-aware services and applications - Sensor networks and RFID technologies - Mobile cluster computing - Mobile Peer-to-Peer computing - Resource/service sharing and management in mobile distributed environments - Mobile distributed transactions - Modelling and performance evaluation of mobile distributed systems
PAPER SUBMISSION
